Young kid, seven years old, and a half
He said, Someday I'll be just like you dad
From the kicks, to the jeans, to the jacket
I'm gonna be just like you
Look dad, Mom gave me coffee (Decaf)
Really it's mostly half and half
You got work, I got school
But we can hang out after that
See, I'm gonna be just like you
When I grow up
I'm gonna know it all like you
And I'll be tough, so tough
And pray hard like you do
And I'll love my family just like you
When I grow up
I said all the same things looking back
Now I've got his jokes, and I take my coffee black
Sometimes I'm jaded, frustrated
And some days I'm just plain mad
I wanna be just like you, too
When I grow up
I'll wake up and watch cartoons
And I'll have fun, so much fun
And play hard like you do
And I'll love my family just like you
When I grow up
No matter how old I get
I still question this
Am I even half the man
you're calling me to be
And what am I gonna do when I
When I grow up
I'm gonna give it all to You
No matter what may come
I'll keep chasing after you
And I'll love your children like you do
When I grow up
