Story Behind The Song
New Man is Andy's journey of chasing the American dream and economic opportunity. Early in his life, he dedicates the vast majority of his energy to building a successful career at the expense of family and relationships. The message to others is that the rat race can become all-consuming and making time for family and gratitude can make all the difference. Perspective matters.

Lyrics
When I was a young man, the hills were callin' and I had to keep climbin'
When I was a young man, the mountains were steep but I had to keep grindin'
When I was a young man, the merry-go-round made it oh so hard to...
Make the time, I've got to, read the signs...
Take the time, wake my mind, to feel gratitude today
When I was a young man, the road was long and I had to keep pushin'
When I was a young man, the path grew dark and I lost my direction
When I was a young man, it all went wrong and I couldn't slow down to...
Make the time, I've got to, read the signs...
Take the time, wake my mind, to feel gratitude today
Now I am a new man, I know the road is long and I've gotta keep ridin'
But I am a new man, I'll find the peace of mind and the space in my heart to...
Make the time, I've got to, read the signs...
Take the time, wake my mind, to feel gratitude today
