Father Figures

I wanna be like David. That man teaches all the kids. Shows them all the things they’ve always done help them do the things they never did.
I wanna be like Leroy. That man funny, down to earth. I think I am the way I am, because he showed me his ways first.
I wanna be like Jose. That man knew the path of Gods. He showed us to be that in ourselves, that it was there inside us all.
I wanna be like Lupe. That man knew just how things work. He taught us how to see the bigger plan, and which things should be done first.
I wanna be like Larry. That man can build you up a dream. Frames and walls, we’ll paint it all, and look at it proud like we’re a team.
I wanna be like David. That man’s not him again, this time It’s me. I want to be the one to show you what all their stories really mean.
