"How Can I Be"

How can I be like my brother Nephi?

My father Lehi of old?

How can I be like Captain Moroni

In the wars that were told?

How can I see 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?

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?

How can I be like my brother Joseph,

when he prayed in the grove of trees?

How can I have, the strength that

he had, the love that 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 them?

Oh tell me how can I be like them?
