From Bahanapana days, playin' in the waves
I couldn't help be happy.
Come to middle school, tryin' to be cool
Strugglin' to find my identity.From the first day I picked up my guitar
I never thought that I would come this far.
Oh, graduation, yes it came so fast,
I never thought it'd pass.YeahI can't remember all the steps I tookBut all I know is that they led me here to look at them
and smile
Yeah
And if it wasn't for my past disgressions,
Who is to say that I would be the man
That I am
Today.
The man I am.
Summers in Kauai,
Surfing in July,
Every jam sesh help me to be
Grateful for today, and excited for tomorrow.
Every wave helped me to see
That this couldn't have been just a coincidence
That I so happened to be on this side of the fence.
I think it had to be the choices I made
So that I'd never fade.
Yeah
I can't remember all the teps I took,
But all I know is that they led me here to look at them
and smile
Yeah
And if it wasn't for my past disgressions,
Who is to say that I would be the man
That I am
Today.
The man I am.
Ho-ohh
The man I am.
With every wave that I've caught
Helped my train of thought.
Every song that I sing helps me see
That every obstacle I face, I can erase
'Cause it led me to the place I wanna be.
This is the man that I am.
And this is the man that I wanna be.
The man I am
Ohh
The man I am
Yeah
The man I am
