You Are Now a Man My Son

When you stand with love and virtue when you walk with loving songs when you hold the hand of others then you are a man my son You don't need to bet and Gamble you don't need to be a drunk you don't need to be a fighter to be a man my son you can be a man a lover working hard to feed his wife you can be a careful lover overcoming strife in life You can stand and build a mountain you can build a city wide you can help to move a mountain when you are a man my son you can dance with love and laughter you can sing and play life's games you can feel joy within you when you are a man my son you can have the fear of failure you can sometimes be afraid you can fight the fear within you and be a man my son on days you will be stronger the lions roar success on days you will be weaker but you're still a man my son Granted there will come a day that you must stand a fight to protect your loving family and be a man my son granted we must budget we must learn, to strive and save we must learn to build a living to be a man my son but the greatest way of living is not dominating strong but with friendship, love and laughter you are now a man my son
