Like father like son, like mother like daughter
What is sown by the one will grown by the other
What we are when we're old Is what we learn when we're young
You may wander from the fold Like father like son

Now I knew a man when I was a child
He was so calm, and I was so wild
But I always wished, I could be that way
But now I find that, I'm growing a little calmer everyday

Like father like son, like mother like daughter
What is sown by the one will grown by the other
What we are when we're old Is what we learn when we're young
You may wander from the fold Like father like son

Now I'm a man, and I know a child
And I try to understand, when he runs a little wild
But I hope and I pray, that when he looks at me
He sees a man like he would someday want to be

Like father like son, like mother like daughter
What is sown by the one will grown by the other
What we are when we're old Is what we learn when we're young
You may wander from the fold Like father like son

You may wander from the fold, like father like son
