    Story Behind the Song
    This song was inspired by my father and addresses my aspirations to attain the same level of spirituality with which he leads his life and pass then onto my son as well. The song was written in my home studio and was recorded as part of the album AMBITIONS FOR DEEPER BREADTH.

    Lyrics
    LIKE HIM
    Ola Onabule © 2001

    When I look at him in the autumn of his years
    I see a man whose self assurance can incline

    The words from him to float subtle as a breeze
    Yet so effortlessly ease my troubled mind

    His life philosophy, to him seems so elementary
    To square up to all doubt, within not from without
    Be brave enough

    If I like him, can learn to temper all with grace
    and walk life at a measured pace
    Maybe I’ll be

    Deeper than thought of inconsequentials
    Clearer than simple truths, Broader than one mind
    Certain beyond proof circumstantial
    Willing to be myself
    Beyond doubting shadows oh oh

    Now watch with me as I raise my infant son
    to be the man I must become If I’m like him
