To Be A Man
Life is funny sometimes
just when you think
you have it all figured out
it comes undone
if you are feeling scared
you are not going anywhere
try to hold on
you are not the only one
the Lord will only give so much
so you have to make ends meet
no matter how many times you fall
get back on your feet
do not give up
do the best that you can
soon you will figure out
what it takes
to be a man
