Yo Quiero Ser Como Tú

He sits next to me, gives me a hug
And he says to me: Daddy, I answer: What is it?
With his little pillow, he leans against me
And he says to me: Daddy, I want to be like you

I lay him down on his bed and give him a kiss
Turning off the lights, I say a prayer
That when he grows up, he will see in me
A father who lives for God

Lord, I want to be like You
Because he wants to be like me
I want to be a good example
That their little eyes can see

Lord, help me teach him
That he can understand
That I want to be like You
Because he wants to be like me

I admit I have a lot to learn
I make mistakes, you know that very well
The pressures of life come upon me
I need your help, I won't be able to do it alone

I want to try harder and learn more from you
Be patient and tender, full of love
Because he learns from what he sees
May your image, Lord, be what I see in myself

Lord, I want to be like You
Because he wants to be like me
I want to be a good example
That their little eyes can see

Lord, help me teach him
That he can understand
That I want to be like You
Because he wants to be like me

Maybe he looks at me, saying: Daddy is the best
But it's because I'm learning from my heavenly father

Lord, I want to be like You
Because he wants to be like me
I want to be a good example
That their little eyes can see

Lord, help me teach him
That he can understand
That I want to be like You
Because he wants to be like me

That I want to be like You
Because he wants to be like me

I want to be like you
Because he wants to be like me
I want to be a good example
That their little eyes can see

Lord, help me teach him
That he can understand
That I want to be like You
Because he wants to be like me

That I want to be like You
Because he wants to be like me
