I try each second to defeat The force that tries to hold me back Break me at the seams
I face each morning with an open heart Somedays I lose the battle, somedays I win the war Now when I close my eyes I see the kind of man that I could be It's hard to be untrue when its blinding light shines through
Oh oh oh oh, I am my father When I refuse to give my power to the other side Oh oh oh oh, I am my father When my model is forgiveness When I take family over business When I surrender to his voice It gives my heart a reason to rejoice I pray for everyday I am his choice Woah, I am my father
Each time I choose the hardest road Each time I bear the hardest slope Everytime temptation calls my name It's at my door but no one's home Each time I thought the hand of greed Try to feel the hand in me Each time I call the devil's love And scream "I've had enough"
Woah, woah, when I walk in his example This house cannot be trampled Woah, woah, I know I'll never crumble When the holy meets the humble My two fathers travel with me when I go
Oh oh oh oh, I am my father Everytime I break the darkness into shining light Oh oh oh oh, I am my father When I turn the other cheek When there is patience when I speak And when I held the homeless child The moments when we touch and reconcile When I stop my world and see him loving smile Woah, I am my father I am my my my my father You are my father
