What kind of man
though never planed
would feed his family
from a garbage can

The kind of man
that has struggled through life
the kind of man
that finds it hard to survive

What kind of man
would rather sell his soul
than to take his family
down that rabbit hole

The kind of man
that never got a break
and doesn't want his kids
suffering from his mistakes

What kind of man
could this be
though the struggles are real
would never think to leave

The kind of man
I would hope to think
would do the very same thing
if it were you or me

That's the kind of man
that I want to be...
