[Chorus]
Like father like son
Like mother like daughter
What is sown by the one
Will be 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
(But) Like father like son

[Verse 1]
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 every day

[Chorus]
Like father like son
Like mother like daughtеr
What is sown by the one
Will be grown by thе other
What we are when we're old
Is what we learn when we're young
You may wander from the fold
(But) Like father like son
[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 2]
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

[Chorus]
Like father like son
Like mother like daughter
What is sown by the one
Will be 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
(But) Like father like son

[Tag]
You may wander from the fold
(But) Like father like son
