Tell me how the circle ends
There's no beginning
Everything that came before will come round again
And I look in the mirror my father's eyes look back at me
He gave me a road to choose… he gave me freedom
And I pray I'm strong enough to walk in his shoes
And I, I hope that I become half the man he taught me to be
'Cause I feel you guiding me showing me the way when I'm misdirected
I know you're not here but I feel connected
Chorus:
'Cause everything that I am comes from a better man
And all that I've said and I've done
Can't re-write my history right there for all to see
I'm just my father's son
He taught me to walk
Now I run
Now I run
Sometimes when I lose myself in my weakness
I can feel a touch of his unmistakeable hands
And they're pushing me forward back into the circle again
And I hope my sons see in me
The kind of man that he was to me
[Repeat chorus]
He's the best and the worst of me
Sometimes I don't know where my common sense is
I may be a sinner but my best defence is
[Repeat chorus]
