[Verse 1] I came from dust and daylight, from the sweat and the ground Every sunrise taught me how to turn it around Worked my hands to the bone, kept my faith in line And I learned that the hardest road still shines [Pre-Chorus] It ain’t luck, it’s heart and fight It’s the fire that burns at night Dreams don’t fade, they just take time When you walk that uphill climb [Chorus] Now I’m a man of tomorrow Built my peace from pain and sorrow Earned my name, my love, my way And I thank the Lord each day The crowd believes, my woman smiles My family prays through all these miles It wasn’t easy, but it’s true I became a man of tomorrow for you [Verse 2] I’ve been down, I’ve been broken, I’ve been on my knees But my mama’s voice said “Son, just believe” Now I see where I’ve been, where I belong Every scar I’ve got became my song [Pre-Chorus] When your roots are deep, you’ll stand When your faith’s in God’s own hand Life’s a field, you reap what’s sown And love’s the seed that brings you home [Chorus] Now I’m a man of tomorrow Built my peace from pain and sorrow Earned my name, my love, my way And I thank the Lord each day The crowd believes, my woman smiles My family prays through all these miles It wasn’t easy, but it’s true I became a man of tomorrow for you [Bridge – soft tone, emotional] If the world should doubt my name, I’ll show the fire that still remains ’Cause the dream that burns inside my chest Is proof I gave my very best [Final Chorus – full band + harmonies] Now I’m a man of tomorrow No regrets and no more sorrow Heaven’s watching, I still pray For one more blessed day
