Verso 1

If you’d asked me at ten years old
The man I’d want to be
I’d’ve said Billy Graham or Superman
Or somewhere in between
The hero in the story
Who stands up for what is right
The kind of guy
You want by your side
If it came down to a fight

Pré Refrão

Ohh I still wanna be still wanna be
Ohh I still wanna be that man

Verso 2

Now I’m forty years
From ten years old
With a history of mistakes
Chose that kryptonite so many times
I’ll never wear that cape
I can’t take back all the damage
That I’ve left along the way
But I can own my sin
And make amends and try another day

Pré Refrão

Ohh I still wanna
Be still wanna be
Ohh I still wanna be that man

Refrão

Strong enough to take a stand
A good man
Not afraid of tenderness
A good man
Heaven can you help me
Be who I wanna be
Father can You make
That kind of man out of me

Coro

A good man
A good man

Verso 3

I want to be the kind of man
A woman’s not afraid to trust
The kind of friend
You call at three AM
‘Cause you know that they'll show up
A man who keeps his word
Who’s known for his integrity
When I get it wrong
Let me be known for my apology

Pré Refrão

Ohh I still wanna be that man

Refrão

Strong enough to take a stand
A good man
Not afraid of tenderness
A good man
Heaven can you help me
Be who I wanna be
Father can You make
That kind of man out of me

Coro

A good man
A good man

Verso 4

I know one day my children
Will stand beside my grave
If nothing else
I hope I leave good things
For them to say
Ohh until that day
I hope they see
Ohh Though I stumble
I’m still trying to be

Refrão

Strong enough to take a stand
A good man
Not afraid of tenderness
A good man
Heaven can you help me
Be who I wanna be
Father can You make
That kind of man out of me

Coro

A good man
A good man
