Now That I'm a Man

When I was a boy I lost myself Trying to impress My father and my friends Trying to fit in While I was drowning And it was never enough Even as a kid I wondered why My life was so hard I wondered why I was different I wondered why My father couldn't look at me And my father used to tell me Why are you not like me? But mama will tell me Son, you're just perfect Now that I'm a man I have learned to love Love me just the way I am Now that I'm a man I have learned to love Love me past the pain Now growing up I'm finding myself I'm trying to love I'm trying trust And letting myself go All I ever wanted Was for him to see All that I can be For him to see That I am enough And not to try To change me And my father used to tell me Why are you not like me? But mama will tell me Son, you're just perfect Now that I'm a man I have learned to love Love me just the way I am Now that I'm a man I have learned to love Love me past the pain
