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 |
