When I was young I roamed wild and free
Chasing dreams without a thought you see
Mistakes were made along the way
But lessons learned have paved the day
So listen close my dear son
For there's a tale to be spun
I hope you'll be smarter my lad
And grow up to surpass your old dad
I stumbled I fell I took the wrong road
But through it all my love for you glowed
I've seen the highs I've felt the lows
But from each setback wisdom arose
So heed my words my little one
In life's race you've already won
Strive to be better don't be sad
And grow up to outshine your old dad
Life's a journey a winding track
With twists and turns you can't go back
But with each step aim to be kind
And leave a legacy that's intertwined
So as you grow my precious son
Remember life's just begun
Be wise be brave and never mad
And grow up to be more than your old dad
So here's my song my humble plea
To be a better man than me
I love you more than words can say
Now go my son seize the day
