Cant you see what Ive become?
Just look at all the things Ive done.
Still, Im standing in your shadow
even after all this time.

Its not the life you hoped Id lead,
but I just couldnt live your dreams.
This life chose me,
how could you be so blind?

And my brothers were no different,
they each heard another call.
So why is it me
you ask to take the fall?

Im not you!
Ill never be!
What will it take to break you,
make you finally see?

This is my life!
Its who I am!
And you made me, raised me
up to be this man.

I cant follow in your footsteps,
but by your guide Ill live my life,
and one day Ill maybe shine
with my own light.

I might touch the hearts of millions,
though if I only reach but one
I pray youd say to them, with pride,
Hey! Thats my son!

But until then,
try father, please
to find that space someplace within you
that still believes

in dreams
and
me ~
