Lyrics
1st verse
The school bell rings, he flies out the door
His skinny legs carry him home
He throws his books on the floor,
Heads for the kitchen
I say " hey son, what's going on?
Today we learned all about a great man
His name was Dr. King
But he got killed, so how come daddy
he still made freedom ring
Chorus
Son he held his head a little higher
He was not afraid to take a stand
His heart beat a little stronger
When you grow up remember him... and be a good man
2nd verse
Sprawled out on the couch got his PJs on
Wer'e eating popcorn and watching the tube
A movie about a man in a far away land
Who wore a towel and didn't eat much food
How'd he help so many people, daddy
How'd he get so much done
Ghandi didn't have big muscles you know
But he wasn't afraid of anyone
Chorus
Son, he held his head a little higher
He was not afraid to take a stand
His heart beat a little stronger
When you grow up remember him...and be a good man
Bridge
Hey daddy don't worry about me
I know how I'm gonna turn out to be
When I grow up no matter what I do
The man I'll never forget is you
Chorus
Because you hold your head a little higher
You are not afraid to take a stand
Your heart beats a little stronger
When I grow up I'll remember you... and be a good man
