Man

The real man

Knows his responsibilites
Not only for the present
But for what lies potentially ahead in the future

The preservation of what he cares for
The protection of the sanctity of what he believes in
The guardian of those who place their trust and love in him

I need to shed the boy away
For the time is such
That I am none any younger

The quarter of the century kicks in
Beckoning me to rethink my life
Finding where lies my priorities

Life is not forever merry making
Life is not forever work raking
But a true balance of thought and toll, And rock and roll

Whilst knowing where you stand
Amidst the seas of change
Upholding the values you cherish
Guarding the people you love
and love with sincerity

In this world soon devoid of pure honesty
Where good is seen as poor
And bad is the edge

Man...
Make a stand
