Think Like a Man

There is where I can do a little good 
This is where I can stand as my father stood
To build a house with the materials of love
From the good earthly things and a blessing from above

I can think like a man

A generation embarks at the port of youth
Its ships all moored on the perilous seas of truth
How do they set sail for all this fog?
Where is the evening star or tomorrow’s god?

They must think like a man
With a divine plan

I’m ready to follow the plan 
of the ready man
I’m ready to stand where my father 
did solidly stand

And start to think like a man
