How Can I Be?

How can I be,

Like my brother Nephi and my father Lehi of old?
How can I be,

like captain Moroni and the wars that were told?
How can I be forever

like the promise to the three Nephites?

I wanna be Samuel the Lamanite
I wanna be Benjamin the wise
I wanna be like Abinadi
Oh tell me how, can I be like them?

How can I be,

like Alma the younger a strong servent of the Lord?
How can I be,

like mighty Ammon whose heart was his sword?
How can I be a strippling warrior

and learn to fight by faith?

I wanna be Samuel the Lamanite
I wanna be Benjamin the wise
I wanna be like Abinidi
Oh tell me how, can I be like them?

How can I be,

like my brother Joseph when he prayed in a grove of trees?
How can I have,

the strength that he had and the love he had for God?
How can I be courageous

and strive to choose the right?

I wanna be Samuel the Lamanite
I wanna be Benjamin the wise
I wanna be like Abinidi
I wanna be like Jesus Christ

Oh tell me how, can I be like Him?

(I was shown a video on You Tube of this song being sung and fell in love with it. Let us strive everyday to be like him.)
