I want to be
Like Mike
With a heart
That's just as big

I want to be
Like Mike
With the different
Things he did

Mike
Whose insides
Started out

Mike
Who always
Limped about

Mike
With that
Great big smile

Mike
Who served
In his own style

The Mike i know
Had problems
Unlike me
His stiff gait
Made it clumsy
For him
To get around
He put forth a mighty
Effort being hardbound
And i complain
When i walk freely

The Mike i know
Loved kids a lot
They loved him
Muchly too
Cause kids know
When your fakin
They really know
Your true
He gave to them
Without stint
Here i sit
Hold on to love
Without a hint
Of satisfaction

The Mike i know
Had a great big heart
He had his faults
As well
He made mistakes
Like everyone
Like everyone
He fell
But what gave
Mike his smile?
What made his life
Worthwhile?
If Mike were here
He'd stop and say
"It's Jesus in my life
Everyday"

So i want to be
Like Mike
I want a big heart to
I want to have
His Christ
Within, effect me
I want the Jesus
That he knew
Don't you?
