Текст Derek Ryan – To Be A Man

So long old friend, it’s my time to go
And if I miss you, I’ll never let it show
Fading sunset, your shadow disappears
Hand on my heart, thank you for the years

Though words are never spoken
I’ll be depending on
The silent love of a father and his son
And the gentle hand that guided me
Since my time on earth began
And showed me what it was to be a man

Restless, broken, times of compromise
These tears I cry, have fallen from your eyes
Hold on, slow down, is what you said to me
In time, you’ll learn, what will be will be

Though words are never spoken
I’ll be depending on
The silent love of a father and his son
And the gentle hand that guided me
Since my time on earth began
And showed me what it was to be a man

For the gentle hand that guided me
Since my time on earth began
I’ll do the best I can to be a man
To be a man
