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
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
Now I find that I'm growin'
a little calmer everyday
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
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
when he looks at me
He sees a man like he
would someday wanna be
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
Like father like son
You may wander from the fold
Like father like son
