Let's go back, back to the days when I was young, when I was just a child Before everything got tough and life was care free I wish I could take you there, back to the good old days. What happened to our family? Now I am afraid that things won't ever be the same If I could be half the man that you are I'd have no fear in me at all If I could be half the man that you are I'd be just fine and be filled with strength to stand tall You've shown me how to be a man There will never come a time when I am done learning I just want to make you proud of me
It breaks my heart when I see you hurting, I just want to you to be healed I will never stop praying for restoration You've poured your life out for me and my brothers alike It's honor to call you father and to have been raised by your side I wish that I could change things for you Give back to the man who's given everything I wish that I could change things for you And show you how much you mean to me You've shown me how to be a man If I could take away your pain, I swear I'd give you my heart You given everything I could ask for nothing more
