Lyrics

I once knew a man
Who stood among many
Not willing to please, not praying for peace
He knew a few ways, the ways of the game
But never did he, move outta turn…

When the time would come, he would take his own chances
Like a flash of a light, he would mend his fences
If what he’d do would see him fail
See him sail through different seas
You’d wonder where he’d be…
If he’s for real…

A man of his word (in this world or the next)
Making a life (with just what is left)
Fighting for pride (with his fortitude)
Always the one, to be there for you…

What the wise man said to me, I’d never forget
These words ringing through my head, every time I’d see red
“What they’d think of you son, don’t make you a man
What you think of them Son, don’t make ‘em dead men”

I was born in a family with my own birthright…
Livin’ a life with no excuses
With this kind of blood running through my veins
Waiting was not part of the game…
You better hold on tight, there’s another ride here…

What the wise man said to me, I’d never forget
These words ringing through my head, every time I’d see red
“What they’d think of you son, don’t make you a man
What you think of them Son, don’t make ‘em dead men”

When I think of what I have learnt
To live a life or burn
Drive myself to further glory
Or write you all a better story…
