The man

Here stands a man before you a man beaten down and broken heavyhearted,

Who had a dream that he never started,

He had a goal that he had lost,

He paid the price and it was a heavy cost,

The burden that he must carry through his life,

It is filled with pain, Sorrow and strife,

He once was the man to put the smile on her face,

Now it is a person in another place,

Is he the one in your dreams at night,

The one you see holding you tight,

Or is the one who she sees in spite,

That encompasses her days and comforts her nights,

If it is the one who is done in spite,

Can he honestly tell you everything is alright,

If it is the one who you hold so dear,

Your life will be filled with happiness without fear,

So here stands a man strong, proud and true,

A man you can see who’s love is true.
