[Verse 1] You've stumbled through some hard years, made choices you regret You paid in pain, not all earned, carryin' old debts But deep inside, there’s somethin’ true a fire that won’t burn out You want to build a better road, But you just, don't know how [Verse 2] Its tough bein’ grown, before your time But sometimes lifes a song, that doesn't rhyme You've wore more pain, than most folks could Tryin' to figure wrong from good And you've been lost, but you still stand Just tryin’ to be a man [Chorus] But bein’ a man, ain’t swingin’ fists Or runnin’ wild, or talkin’ big It’s holdin’ on, when life gets rough It's hangin' tight and hangin' tough It’s keepin’ your word, and lendin’ a hand forgivin others, when you can It’s lovin your momma, treatin' her right And standin’ for truth, not just your side So turn to Jesus, take His hand He’ll show you everything, that makes a man [Verse 3] You got scars, that you don’t show Wounds only the good Lord knows But inside there's still some fight A heart that wants to make things right [Verse 4] You've learned what not to be From the ones you used to see But there's a better way instead You hear the whispers in your head [Pre- Chorus] You ain't too far, and you ain’t done You’re still your mama’s only son And grace is strong enough to stand When you don’t have a plan [Chorus] Cause bein’ a man's, about bein bold And courage worth, its weight in gold It’s sayin' sorry, when you're wrong It's tellin the truth all day long It’s showin’ love without demands And givin’ more than takin’ stands It’s doin what you're supposed to do And bein’ the man God called you to So turn to Jesus, trust His plan He’ll show you everything, that makes a man [Bridge] He gave His life without a fight To fix our wrongs and teach us right If you’re searchin’ for a name to wear It starts on your knees, and sayin a prayer And askin Him, your sins to bear Just turn to Jesus He'll be there [Final Chorus] Yeah, bein’ a man's about doin’ right Not just in the day, but late at night It’s holdin' close, those you hold dear It's facin' every doubt, and every fear It’s strength wrapped up, in gentle hands A servant's heart, of a different brand It starts with faith, In the only man And the only one, who understands So turn to the Rock, and not the sand He'll show you everything, that makes a man [Outro] Turn to Jesus While you can He'll show you everything, that makes a man
