That's A Man |
| Saw a story on the local news last night |
| About one more struggling single mother |
| She was talking about how hard it is getting by |
| With no help, no money, no nothing from the baby’s father |
| Made me think about this guy I know with a wife and a child |
| Who’s working two jobs just to get by |
| Yeah, he says he’d do anything he could in this world |
| Just to give his young family a better life; |
| yeah, a better life |
| Oh, that’s a man |
| That’s a 19-year-old, modern-day hero man |
| Those two young Marines over there fighting for their country |
| Man, they’re gonna be friends forever |
| They’ve both come back eventually |
| But as bonds and destiny would have it |
| They don’t come back together |
| Yeah, the one who lived to tell about |
| Why he can’t even talk about it |
| Keeps fighting that fight up there in his head |
| Ain’t a day goes by he don’t wonder why |
| Why it wasn’t me instead |
| It could’ve been me instead |
| Oh, that’s a man |
| That’s a you don’t know how hard he tried to save his buddy’s life man |
| I don’t know about you |
| Sometimes, I just need a little reminder |
| And reach down and find some understanding |
| Find some kind of kindness |
| Read about a man who said his family |
| Had been farming the same land in Ohio for 100 years |
| Felt like he’d paid for it ten times over |
| With his own blood, his own sweat, and his own tears |
| If he had to, he’d be out there on that tractor working |
| Seven long, hot days a week |
| Yeah, he’s the kind of feller that people get real quiet |
| When he stands up in church to speak |
| They know when he speaks |
| Oh, that’s a man |
| That’s a stand tall, walk straight |
| Put God’s share in the collection plate man |
| Oh, that’s a man |
