I Wanna Be Like You
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I swallow everything and spit nothing out
Keeps coming back on me
Forcing me down
So dizzy, sick and twisting
So ugly, sad but true
I can't be left unguided
I can't be without You
Help me seek what's true
I wanna be like You
I wanna be like You
Show me what to do
I wanna be like You
You took my pain away
Grounded a drowning man
Erasing yesterday
Only You can
These hands, they reach for sure things
That soon will come undone
So often disappointing, I am, when I don't look to the Son
Help me seek what's true
I wanna be like You
I wanna be like You
Show me what to do
I wanna be like You
You let me choose
I break, I bruise
So then I give it back to You
And You set me loose
I wanna be like You
I wanna be like You
Show me what to do
I wanna be like You
I wanna be like You
I wanna be like You
Show me what to do
I wanna be like You
You
I wanna be like You
