A Man One Day
Do what you like if you want to
What difference does it make if you don't really care?
There's no-one anywhere can tell you
What's right for you, you've just got to make that choice.
And in the end you will see where you're going
And you'll think why all the fuss?
But you won't really understand growing
Until you become one of us.
You're gonna be a man one day
But you don't have to shout about it
A man one day
But you don't have to tell the whole world.
Nothing that good comes easy
You'll have to try so hard you'll feel like it's enough
But don't forget what you believe in
Your dream is just one step away from where you are.
From time to time you may think where's the reason?
For things you wish you had not seen
So don't deny what your thoughts want to give you
You'll always regret what you could have been.
You're gonna be a man one day
But you don't have to shout about it
A man one day
Now there's no surer thing
You're gonna be a man one day
And no-one else but you will doubt it
A man one day
But you don't have to tell the whole world.
And in the end you will see where you're going
And you'll think why all the fuss?
But you won't really understand growing
Until you become one of us.
You're gonna be a man one day
But you don't have to shout about it
A man one day
Now there's no surer thing
You're gonna be a man one day
And no-one else but you will doubt it
A man one day
But you don't have to tell the whole world
No you don't have to tell the whole world.
You're gonna be a man one day
But you don't have to shout about it
A man one day
Now there's no surer thing
You're gonna be a man one day
And no-one else but you will doubt it
A man one day
But you don't have to tell the whole world.
