You Are a Man My Son

You are a man my son from start to finish
never do you need to prove yourself
the simple fact you came into existence
to make your mark what ever that maybe

you do not need to gamble all your money
you do not need to spend your life on booze
the simple fact you came into existence
to make your mark whatever that maybe

granted you can stand to build your courage
hold your head when problems come your way
the simple fact you came into existence 
to make your mark whatever that maybe

you have the right to be the man you are son
you do not have to prove yourself to me
the simple fact you came into existence 
to make your mark whatever that maybe
