[Verse 1] He always shines a special light To everyone he meets He loves to talk And shake the hands Of everyone he greets He's always optimistic He'll give you anything On his hand he proudly wears a ring [Verse 2] I'd seen the emblem often On signs in many towns And you'll see it ion old tombstones In graveyards all around So I asked if he would tell me Exactly what it means He smiled and said I'll tell you about this ring [Chorus] It's the way that I can tell the world The kind of man I am And I put my trust In God above And for brotherhood I stand It reminds me to be honest To remember whence I came I'm a man that you can count on That's why I wear this ring [Verse 3] So with shaking voice I returned all my three degrees And just before I saw the light While bending on my knees The room was all so silent All at once I got to see My eyes began to focus On Dad and my own ring [Chorus] It's the way that I can tell the world The kind of man I am And I put my trust In God above And for brotherhood I stand It reminds me to be honest To remember whence I came I'm a man that you can count on That's why I wear this ring [Chorus 2] Now it's the way That I will tell the world The kind of man I am That put my trust in God above And for brotherhood I stand It reminds me to be honest To remember whence I came I'll be a man that you can count on That's why I wear this ring [Tag] Tonight I watched as my son Returned his own E.A
