I Am Man

When you see a window closing, reality sets in

Time has passed you by

You find yourself looking up at the stars in the sky

Right is still right and wrong is still wrong

No matter how many things you wish you could take back

No matter how many things you wish you could have done

The reality is that it has only just begun

Father time sometimes leaves you without a father

The winter will test you to see if you can really become stronger

All of the answers will be clearer than ever before

And all those doors you shut are now someone else’s war

At the end of the day I’ve just been chasing all that’s my own

Every boy runs from the fear of being a man

Only to understand a man is what he must become

Forgiveness and Wisdom

Knowledge of what it means to belong

The willingness to make your last stand

The determination to rise above oppression

The perseverance, the sweat falling from the brow

The breaking of the mind, to strengthen what the heart must vow

Finding your self determining to be the lion and letting go of the cub

In a world full of power, with a palm full of fear

It’s the morals and ideals that will bring you either far or near

The weak will settle, the strong will lack heart

It’s the one who embraces change that has the keys to the world’s art

Rising with the moon and setting with the sun

Only a fool cries wolf and expects the lion to come

I am who I am, I can take it or leave it

Buts when its all over, its my legacy that will be left speaking.
