Lyrics

Be A Man

If you think that you're the only one,
that lost a race he thought he'd won, think again.
If you think that you're the only guy
That lost the girl that caught his eye, think again.
This life it ain't no fairy tale, sometimes we win sometimes we fail
Sometimes we let chances slip away.
So be careful of the words you speak
Say a word for the small and weak
And say a prayer of thanks, every day.
And be a man.

Chorus
Be careful of the friends you choose
Don't end up on the nightly news
Don't blame someone else for things you do.
This life is full of twists and turns, prices paid and lessons learned,
But how you face the test is up to you.

So be careful of the words you speak,
And say a prayer for the poor and weak
And always be the first to lend a hand.
And if you wanna make your daddy proud, prove you've got it figured out,
Learn to stand right where your choices land.
Be a man.


Be careful of the friends you choose,
Don't end up on the nightly news
And don't blame someone else for things you do.
Don't go around all woe is me
Expectin some epiphany
Just realize that change is up to you.

So be careful of the words you speak
And say a prayer for the poor and weak
And always be the first to lend a hand.
And if you wanna make your daddy proud, and prove you've got it figured out,
Then learn to stand right where your choices land
And be a man.
Be a man.
Just be a man.
