Verse 1 He looks like a mountain standing tall against the sky Strong enough to carry burdens, still so shy But appearances can fool you if you only glance his way There's a storm behind his eyes he hides from every day Verse 2 He's searching for a mentor, someone he can trust Following the wrong directions, turning hope to dust He's got a job and does it well, he gives it all he can Trying hard to find his place, trying hard to be a man Chorus There's something about this man If you look close you'll understand Beneath the strength, beneath the pride A heart that's hurting deep inside He tries so hard to fit right in But always fighting battles within Oh, there's something about this man More than most will understand Verse 3 He turns to Nan who loves him, as she has right from the start But he says he's grown too old for hugs as he toughens his heart Still I see the little boy who'd run into my arms Now he's building walls around a life that causes him such harm Verse 4 Family sees the struggle that he tries so hard to hide While others take advantage and take him for a ride My heart breaks wanting to step in and shield him from the pain But some roads must be travelled alone to learn right from wrong again Chorus There's something about this man If you look close you'll understand Beneath the strength, beneath the pride A heart that's hurting deep inside He tries so hard to fit right in But keeps on fighting battles within Oh, there's something about this man More than most will understand Bridge He's stumbled through this life the best way that he knows And I have learned that sometimes love means letting go I worry every single day, of course I always will But growing strong means finding your own path up that hill Final Chorus There's something about this man And someday he'll understand The strength he thought was missing within Has always been inside of him And though he may walk far from me My love remains for him to see Oh, there's something about this man And I'll be there if he needs a hand Outro He won't fit in my arms now Like he did when he was small So I keep my distance quietly But I'm there if he should call Yeah, I'm always there if he should call...
