Boy to a Man

He taught me how to hold a hammer And how to drive a nail And what in life truly matters Is being saved from hell And bowing my head when life shatters Before anything else My first steps on this land Yea he made me who I am And how I walk to how I stand It's the shadow of that man And with that Bible in his hand He helped me to understand What it takes for a boy to be a man He work for what we needed All those years Cause a love from a dad to a son will bring you tears And when I pass down what he taught me To my own boys ears From their first steps on this land Yea I'll make them who they are And how they walk to how they stand It's the shadow of this man And with that Bible in my hand I'll help them understand What it takes for a boy to be a man What it takes for a boy to be a man
