Now I Run

Mmm

Tell me how the circle ends

If 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

Mmm, 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'd want me to be

'Cause I feel you guidin' me

Showin' me the way when I'm misdirected

I know you're not here, but I feel connected

'Cause everything that I am

Comes from a better man

And all that I've said and I've done

Can't rewrite my history

Right there for all to see

I'm just my father's son

Taught me to walk, now I run

Now I run

Sometimes when I lose myself

In my weakness

I can feel the touch of his

Unmistakable hands

And they're pushin' me forward

Back into the circle again

And I hope my sons see in me

The kind of man that he was to me

And everything that I am

Comes from a better man

And all that I've said and I've done

Can't rewrite my history

Right there for all to see

I'm just my father's son

Taught me to walk, now I run

I run

He's the best and the worst in me

Sometimes I don't know where my common sense is

I may be a sinner, but my best defense is

Everything that I am

Comes from a better man

And all that I've said and I've done

Can't rewrite my history

Right there for all to see

I'm just my father's son

Yeah

I'm just my father's son

Taught me to walk, now I run
