lyrics

I see you growing everyday
You take our breath away with each new step
I wonder who you're meant to be
What you'll learn from me and who you'll love

Before I'm out of time, there's something on my mind
Some simple words that I want you to hear

Take care of your mama, stay away from drama
Never tell a lie if it might cause somebody pain
Help someone up when they are down
For family always be around
These are just a few things I hope you understand
That's what it takes to be a man

Keep learning, study everything
See what life can bring to your front door
If something's gotta give, give your pride and not your soul
It's best if you stay true to who you are
Without that, you'll never make it far

Make people feel like they belong, say you're sorry when you're wrong
Always try your best and never be afraid to dream
Respect the world that surrounds you
And keep a heart that aims true
These are just a few things I hope you understand
That's what it takes to be a man

If there's times where you don't know which way to go
Trust yourself and never let it show
When I'm gone if you feel like you're alone
I'll be the voice inside that guides you home

Always stand up for what is right, and think before you fight
Be the shoulder Gia cries on when she's got a broken heart
Love your kids with all you have
Cause they grow up too damn fast
These are just a few things I hope you understand
That's what it takes to be a man
