========================
You said you'd teach me how to shave
How to stand my ground and still be brave
Eating ice cream, sunny days
Building forts in hidden ways

Your laughter echoed through the hall
Now the kitchen feels so small
Only now I understand god's plan
When you said, “Take care of Mom, be her man.”

I know I’m supposed to carry on
But let me cry for just this song

Before I knew my hands had wrinkles
And my eyes had lost their sparkles
I can't even hold your hand
‘Cause you left before I learned how to stand

So tell me what it means to be a man
Standing tall despite the ache I can't withstand
If there's anything that's left that stays
It's the coffee stains and empty days

Mom keeps saying, "You stay strong,"
As my sister’s hair grows long
You once were my universe
Now the blessing feels like curse

You said I was never strange at all
As we watched the Sunday football
I still need you here with me
To protect the child inside of me

I know I’m supposed to carry on
But let me cry for just this song

Before I knew my hands had wrinkles
And my eyes had lost their sparkles
I can't even hold your hand
‘Cause you left before I learned how to stand

So tell me what it means to be a man
Standing tall despite the ache I can't withstand
If there's anything that's left that stays
It's the coffee stains and empty days

They say time will heal the pain
But my mind won’t stay the same
Would you be proud of what I see
Even with no grand degree?

Working hard just to survive
Mom, my sister, me alive
I recall your smile and laughter
Maybe dreams I’m chasing after

Maybe one day I'll be a father
Maybe then I'll know your bother
Maybe someday, souls recover
Or I’ll leave before it’s over
