"Be Like You" lyrics

You showed me how I could make my way
The sky may fall, but you could hold the space
I build these walls from the dirt and clay
I've got a life of my own
But if I'm honest at all

I wanna be like you
I wanna be like you

If I walked your walk, they could see your face
'Cause the truth at the end of day
I wanna be like you
I wanna be like you

Yeah, late nights, early days
Blue collar is man's cage
You broke free for your kid's case
I wanna be like you

I can't wait to get paid
To give back what the world takes
One book is your life's page
I tell the truth when I say
I'm afraid for the day you don't call
'Cause without you, I ain't nothing at all

I wanna be like you
I wanna be like you (yeah)

If I walked your walk, they could see your face
'Cause the truth at the end of day
I wanna be like you
I wanna be like you

I wanna like a man like no other
A fighter and lover
The one I discovered in you
I wanna be a man worth believing in
Can stand any season
And you know when the voices ain't true
I wanna be like you
I wanna be like you

I wanna like a man like no other
A fighter and lover
The one I discovered in you
I wanna be a man worth believing in
Can stand any season
And you know when the voices ain't true
I wanna be like you (hey)
I wanna be like you
