Yo Quiero Ser Como Tú

He sits next to me, gives me a hug
And says daddy, I reply that he is
With his little pillow he lies down next to me
And says daddy, I want to be like you

I lay him in his bed and give him a kiss
Turning off the light, I say a prayer
So that when he grows up, he sees 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 his little eyes can see

Lord, help me teach him
So 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 it well
The pressures of life come upon me
I need your help, I can't do it alone

I want to strive and learn more from you
To be patient and tender, full of love
Because he learns from what he sees
May your image, Lord, be what he sees in me

Lord, I want to be like you
Because he wants to be like me
I want to be a good example
That his little eyes can see
Lord, help me teach him
So 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 his little eyes can see
Lord, help me teach him
So 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
