[Verse 1: Nonelikejoshua]
From the seed to the tree
That you wanted me to be
I’ll suddenly be up and running
To another country
But this distance doesn’t make a difference
Since you’ve helped me get this far
Yes, I was scared
But not unprepared
Best days of my life
Spent never knowin' where
I reside
And though we lost our home
We’re still holding so close at the end of the rope
And you sent me notes
How you left me so
I could go to school and never fall depths below
You were tellin' me no
When you heard that I would go to work
And now I want to show my debt to owe
When I help you write
All the books you like
With a house on the brook
And the farm to survive
Then I find you’ll reminisce as we
Try to say this, "looks like we made it"
[Chorus: Nonelikejoshua]
I know I am my father’s son
I know I am my father’s son
And when I get to raise one
I’ll know just what to do
I know I am my father’s son
I know I am my father’s son
And when I get to raise one
I’ll know just what to do

[Post-Chorus: Veela]

Trust fading with age
Bright, passionate flames
Somehow engulfin' you
Ideas of rage
Questionin' faith
Wantin' one more day with you, for you

[Verse 2: Nonelikejoshua, Veela, Nonelikejoshua & Veela]
Would it matter if we didn’t even make it? (Oh)
It’s the journey we’ve taken (Oh)
Long as you can say you’re not disappointed (Oh)
I can keep goin' and absorb
Every conversation that we have
I was drownin' but you came and saved me
And thank you for paying for all the vacations
Instead of pinchin' pennies
I’m rememberin' you tellin' me
To never ever let it be the money over memories
[Chorus: Nonelikejoshua]
I know I am my father’s son
I know I am my father’s son
And when I get to raise one
I’ll know just what to do
I know I am my father’s son
I know I am my father’s son
And when I get to raise one
I’ll know just what to do

[Bridge: Veela, Nonelikejoshua]
Testing your troubles far away
Think up a rhythm just a bit too late
This solitary way you stay
Makes trees grow faster, than you
I would never be livin' a dream if
The words that I wrote made you cringe and sheepish
The nights are sleepless
So I guarantee this
You’ll never fall far with my achievements
You bought me, my sister, and my mom, an education
I’m not an engineer but I’m not ungracious
Then I find you’ll reminisce as we
Try to say this, "looks like we made it"
[Chorus: Nonelikejoshua]
I know I am my father’s son
I know I am my father’s son
And when I get to raise one
I’ll know just what to do
I know I am my father’s son
I know I am my father’s son
And when I get to raise one
I know who he will become

For you
Looks like we made it
