A careful man I want to be a little youngster follows me
|
I do not dare to go astray in fear he might go that same way
|
I cannot once escape his eyes and what he sees me do he tries
|
Like me he says he wants to be that little boy who follows me
|
Now he thinks that I'm so big and fine he believes every single word of mine
|
Lord the bad in me please don't let him see I wish that I could much stronger be
|
I must remember as I go through summer's sun and winter's snow
|
I'm molding for eternity that little boy who follows me
|
Yes I'm molding for eternity that little boy that follows me
|
