[Verse 1]
When I grow up to be a man
Like my father was when I was young
I hope I can make him so proud of me
Proud enough to call me his son
Ooh yeah
[Instrumental Break]
[Verse 2]
What makes these people so different now?
What makes these times so strange?
Seems most people got most everything they need
How come we see this change?
[Chorus]
Our sons and daughters seem to be beyond our control
Their smile is fading fast, they're losing their soul
When will we ever learn?
Yet I'm a believer
[Verse 3]
When I was a boy, did we have more respect?
This world seemed a nicer place to be
But time slowly passes, and one day you look around
You hardly recognize what you see
When I grow up to be a man
Like my father was when I was young
I hope I can make him so proud of me
Proud enough to call me his son
Ooh yeah
[Instrumental Break]
[Verse 2]
What makes these people so different now?
What makes these times so strange?
Seems most people got most everything they need
How come we see this change?
[Chorus]
Our sons and daughters seem to be beyond our control
Their smile is fading fast, they're losing their soul
When will we ever learn?
Yet I'm a believer
[Verse 3]
When I was a boy, did we have more respect?
This world seemed a nicer place to be
But time slowly passes, and one day you look around
You hardly recognize what you see
