(Music by Tom Levin. Lyrics by Tom Levin & Cole Ruth)
They say the apple don’t fall far from the tree
I tried to fight it now I’m seeing you in me
I’m not the businessman you wanted me to be
But I’m also not a drunkard nor a liar or a thief
All my life I’ve tried to honor your good name
Painted my picture, tried to put it in your frame
Now I see because your blood is in my veins
You might not understand me but you’ll love me just the same
Don’t you worry, what I become
Don’t you worry, when day is done
You can tell them
I’m your son
There were times I wished that you were more like me
Artist or musician, someone writing poetry
But through our differences I have come to see
If you had been another you, I would not be me
Don’t you worry, what I become
Don’t you worry, when day is done
You can tell them
I’m your son
What I wouldn’t do for more time
Time to know you as you are
I know we still have some distance to travel
But it can’t be that far
Don’t you worry, what I become
Don’t you worry, when day is done
Don’t you worry, what I become
Don’t you worry, when day is done
You can tell them
I’m your son
