lyrics

Do you know a man who lives for the sake of his son's life? Not looking to give to his own life, but longs to be good to his own wife.
Do you know a man who lives and he loves for his family? And isn't afraid of the enemy, but lives a life so full of empathy. Do you know a man?


Father, you're farther, you're far away from me.
Father, you fought her, every single night. And every single day, there's just one thing I pray. Father, your father, will you be here to stay? Father, your father, when did we fall astray?

What is the heart of a man? I've grown so tired of asking myself. How can I be the man I'm supposed to be without the one I need to help me see.


And even if you don't believe in me, I finally learned to believe in myself.

I can't seem to get these thoughts out of my head, that everything I touch and everything I put my hands to falls apart. Nearing 22 years, and I still can't make ends meet. Though we can't really see eye to eye, and I'm not living out the plans some may have for me, I've come to know that no matter what I do, or what I say, I will always love you. And my dreams, though different, can't ever keep me from being good enough.

No joy, and no heart. Night after night I'd tear myself apart. I want to be the man that I was made to be. Even if my hopes and my dreams aren't exactly what you see.

Nothing can separate you from my love. Nothing can tear us apart. Man after my own heart.
