How Can I Be
Reminds me of when I lived in Hawaii. Love this song. It'd be nice for my kids' mission farewells. Enjoy.
Lyrics:
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 Abinidi
Oh tell me how can I be like them?
Ooh... Ooh...
How can I be like Alma the Younger,
Strong servant of the Lord?
How can I be like Mighty Ammon,
Whose heart was his sword?
How can I be a stripling 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?
Ooh... Ooh...
How can I be (How can I be?) like my brother Joseph,
When he prayed in the grove of trees?
How can I have (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?
Oh tell me how can I be like Him?
Ooh... Ooh...

yay for Poly's "poly-fying" such a wonderful song..and Yay for you for posting this up on your Blog!
That's great. ^^ haha. I really like that song, I just keep listening to it over and over...but then I have to keep backing up while I wait for my "slower than cold tar in the middle of a blizzard going up hill" computer to load a few seconds of it... ^^ thank you
This is an awesome song! I absolutely love it! I actually just came back from Hawaii and this song definitely brings back some good memories of that place =)
This is a wonderful song, when I first listened to it, I said, that it was a good way to be reminded what we need to be. What manner of men ye ought to be? Jesus said: "Even as I am"
Thanks for sharing these lyrics. I was with the sisters missionnaries of my stake and when I heard that song I just found it "wonderful".
Thanks for sharing! The first time I heard this song was while I was in the MTC. We listened to it all the time! Great memories.
Do you have sheet music for this? - Judy Howard
I wrote a Book of Mormon camp for my grandkids about five years ago called, Camp Nephi. It highlights the hero's of the Book of Mormon, the lessons we learn from their lives and how we can be like them. This song happened to come out around the same time I put together this camp, so I made sure to include every person mentioned in this song in the camp and the stories that we learn from them. I end the camp singing this song with the kids and giving them a copy of it on a cd. I just want to thank you for this incredible piece of music that really helped inspire Camp Nephi for me. I asked above for the music because I'm running the camp again for my younger grandkids that are finally old enough for it and their dad is musical so I thought it would be fun for him to play the music, but we'll just use the cd again if you don't have it. Thank you for sharing your talents so we can help each other along the covenant path. Love!
