[Verse 1]
GLike father like Cson, like mother like Gdaughter
GWhat is sown by the Done will gDmrown by the Gother
GWhat we are when we're Cold is what we learn when we're Emyoung
GYou may wander from the Cfold, Dlike father like Gson
[Chorus]
GNow I knew a man when I was a Emchild
He was so Ccalm and I was so Dwild
And I always Gwished, I could be that Emway
And now I find that I'm Cgrowing a little Dcalmer Geveryday
[Verse]
GLike father like Cson, like mother like Gdaughter
