BECOMING A MAN

I OFTEN WALK ALONE AT NIGHT
I THINK OF WHAT IS WRONG
OR WHAT IS RIGHT
SOME TIMES MY MIND JUST GOES ASTRAY
I START TO THINK OF PLACES FAR AWAY

I DON'T WANT TO BE FREE
ALL IWANT IS YOU TO BE CLOSE TO ME
I SIT AND PRAY AND HOPE FOR IT TO BE
OH PLEASE MY SON COME HOME TO ME

I LOOK TOWARDS THE SKY
AND START TO WONDER WHY
GOD MADE ME PART OF THIS HUMAN RACE
AND TOWARDS HIM I TURN AND FACE
SIR I AM NOT WORTHY
TO SAY YOUR GRACE

I THINK OF WHAT IT MIGHT HAVE BEEN
I THINK OF ALL I HAVE SEEN
MAYBE I WILL MAYBE I CAN
MAYBE IT’S TIME FOR ME
TO GROW UP AND BE THAT MAN
