Lyrics: Father: My Heav'nly Father wants me to be the very best I can,
He shows me the way and guides me each day, I want to follow His plan.
He's strong yet gentle, firm yet kind, Forgives me when I stray.
He asks me to become like Him, Like father, like son.

Son: My father holds the priesthood, through it I see him serving others,
He's always there to do his share whenever work is done.
I see him read the scriptures, listen as he prays, watch his example for living.
He leads our fam'ly, loves his sweetheart, takes the time to spend with children,
He's always honest, always loves me, even when I stray.
I'll learn to understand as I become a man
Like father, like son.

Chorus Together: I'll follow in his footsteps, I'm learning day by day.
And everything he teaches me I'll willingly obey.
My life has found a pattern, my father is the one
I want to be like him you see, like father, like son.

(Then combine two parts, followed by chorus)
