Verse 1 You don’t talk about the storm But I see it in your eyes Every time the night gets quiet And the past comes back alive You learned how to be strong ‘Fore you ever learned to pray Carried weight that broke the boy But somehow, babe, you found a way Verse 2 Every scar, every goodbye Every tear you never cried Every heartbreak on the road That you have faced Every battle you have fought Everything lesson your life taught Has led you to this place in life Where you are strong Chorus I love the man you are today Not in spite of yesterday Every mile that made you brave Has led you here Through every storm that came your way You stood tall, never ran away Through All the nights you thought the pain Would never end It didn’t tear your world apart It carved a strength inside your heart And baby there’s one thing I have to say I love the man you are today Verse 3 You built your world on broken ground Somehow you never let anyone down And You don’t realise Just how rare that is All the loss, the pain, the fight Turned your wounds into your light Your live and Grace shines bright In this world so dark Chorus I love the man you are today Not in spite of yesterday Every mile that made you brave Has led you here Through every storm that came your way You stood tall, never ran away Through All the nights you thought the pain Would never end It didn’t tear your world apart It carved a strength inside your heart And baby there’s one thing I have to say I love the man you are today Bridge Sometimes I sit and wonder ‘bout the roads you had to take The lonely miles, the heavy weight, The choices you had to make But if I could turn back time, Then I wouldn’t change a thing ‘Cause all that pain’s the reason why That you’re my everything Chorus (Variation – Lift with cello & harmonies) I love the man you are today All your strength beneath the grace Every crack that let love in Every line upon your face All the roads that nearly broke you All the faith you somehow found Is the reason that my heart is safe and sound I love the man you are today Not in spite of yesterday Every mile that made you brave Has led you here It didn’t tear your world apart It carved a strength inside your heart And baby there’s one thing I have to say I love the man you are today Outro / Coda (Stripped back to guitar & piano) So when the shadows start to whisper That you’re anything but enough I’ll be right here reminding you What you’re made of Yeah every step that led you through the gray Made the man who’s here to stay And I love… Oh I love… The man you are today
