You cried your way inside my heart
And i have rocked you fast asleep
The face reflected up at me
Says, "boy, become a man"
You're crawling into everything
My lazy chair, my songs and dreams
One day you'll walk... right next to me
A boy, become a man
The funny thing is I am learning
Twice as much as you
And you don't know the half of it
What you have taught me too
When you've outgrown your baby clothes
Your fire trucks and g.i. joes
I want to be the one who knows
The boy become become a man
When laughter makes our insides frail
When pain is more than words can tell
I want to be the one to help
The boy become a man
The funny thing is I am learning
Twice as much as you
And you don't know the half of it
What you have brought me through
And when i look on yesterday
The fights we had, the games we played
The storms we chartered into bay
When we could not see land
With weathered eyes and feathered gray
And you, a Dad in your own way
I'll turn to you with pride and say,
"The boy's become a man"
