This is the time, this is the place
For me to answer, for you to ask
I can see questions
Troubling your mind

Don't be afraid to talk to me
It's not too late, never will be
I'll be your friend, boy
Long after I'm gone
I will be watching you
And help you carry on

Be strong
Walk tall
Keep on movin' when you fall
Grow yourself boy, up to be
A kind of man with whom you can live
Day after day

Come sit beside me, or sit in my lap
Always remember, do not forget
I'll be your ladder
But on your own you'll climb
I'll dig the trenches
But you must fight your fights

Be strong
Walk tall
Keep on movin' when you fall
Grow yourself boy, up to be
A kind of man with whom you can live
Day after day…
Day after day…
Day after day…
