When I was young my father told me
One day you'll see the world differently
Take care of them and have a plan
You don't understand but one day you'll see
I hope your life
Is shining like a light
So you can see
Who you were made to be
And I hope you can think of me
With positivity
Because I hope that your life
Is better because of mine
Setting out feels brand new
Showed you the path that I took but it's all up to you
And now when you look in the mirror do you see
Me looking back at you are we what we said we'd be
I hope your life
Is shining like a light
So you can see
Who you were made to be
And I hope you can think of me
With positivity
Because I hope that your life
Is better because of
How you view success and happiness
These paths we take in this wilderness
And were all the same from our mothers to the next
We grow and we keep
What serves us best
I hope your life
Is shining like a light
So you can see
Who you were made to be
And I hope you can think of me
With positivity
Because I hope that your life
Is better because of mine
