Lyrics:

Oh, papa, sit down and hear my song
Oh, and if you feel like it then, please, sing along
No, nothing that I wanna say, I haven't said before
But to use your words, you can never be too sure

See, even though I don't always show
I'm glad that you're around
I said I'm glad that you're around

Oh, son, it's so strange to hear and see
That someone so different is a soul like me
You may have gone right where I would have gone left
But, son, that's alright, I will always have your back

See, even though I don't always show
I'm proud that you're my son

Old days and all of the new
Wanting to be like you

Every time I look at you (Oh yeah) I see myself

Yeah, I'm so proud of you for

You have made me what I am (Ohoho), a better man

I'm just so proud of you

Oh, dad, your views in life, tell me how they came to be

Well, see, I didn't know my father like the way that you know me
Son, life is just too short for us to never be in touch

Oh, that's why I wanna tell you that I love you very much
Oh, even though I don't always show, you know (And I want you to know that)

Every time I look at you I see myself (Oh yeah)
And I'm so proud of you
You have made me what I am (Tell me now), a better man

I'm just so proud of you

I'm here and I'll be if I can
A father and a friend

Oho (Ooohooohooo!)
Every time I look at you

Every time I look at you (What you see?) I see myself (Oh yeah)
And I'm so proud of you
For you have made me what I am (Ooohooo!), a son and a friend

I'm just so proud of you (Oh, listen, ha)

You know that one day too I'll be walking in your shoes

And I know that you'll do fine 'cause you're a son of mine

Oh, dear papa, tell me what you've learned, so that I don't get my fingers burned

Son, you'll see that as you go, you'll make mistakes of your own, but that's okay, man
See you live and you learn, you live and you learn!
Oooh
