That's a Man

Saw a story on the local news last night

'Bout one more struggling single mother

She was talking about how hard it is getting by

With no help, no money, no nothing from the baby's fatherMade me think about this guy I know with a wife and a child

Who's working two jobs just to get by

Yeah, he says he'd do anything he could in this world

Just to give his young family a better life, yeah, a better lifeOh! That's a man!

That's a 19-year-old, modern-day hero manThose two young Marines over there fighting for their country

Man, they're gonna be friends forever

Well they'd both come back eventually

But as bombs and destiny would have it

They don't come back togetherYeah, the one who lived to tell about

Why he can't even talk about it

Keeps fighting that fight up there in his head

Ain't a day goes by he don't wonder why

Why it wasn't me instead, it could've been me instead!Oh! That's a man!

That's a you don't know how hard he tried

To save his buddy's life manI don't know about you

But sometimes I just need a little reminding

To reach down to find some understanding

Find some kind of kindnessRead about a man who said his family had been farming

The same land in Ohio for a hundred years

Felt like he'd paid for it ten times over

With his own blood, his own sweat and his own tearsIf he had to he'd be out there on that tractor working

Seven long, hot days a week

Yeah, he's the kind of fella that people get real quiet

When he stands up in church to speak

They know when he speaksOh! That's a man!

That's a stand tall, walk straight

Put God's share in the collection plate man

Oh! That's a man!

Oh! That's a man!
