Saw a story on the local news last night[00:00:09]
About one more struggling single mother[00:00:12]
She was talking about how hard it is getting by[00:00:16]
With no help no money no nothing from the baby's father[00:00:19]
Made me think about this guy I know with a wife and a child[00:00:24]
Who's working two jobs just to get by[00:00:28]
Yeah he says he'd do anything he could in this world[00:00:33]
Just to give his young family a better life; yeah a better life[00:00:35]
Oh that's a man[00:00:41]
That's a 19-year-old modern-day hero man[00:00:49]
Those two young Marines over there fighting for their country[00:00:58]
Man they're gonna be friends forever[00:01:02]
They've both come back eventually[00:01:06]
But as bonds and destiny would have it[00:01:08]
They don't come back together[00:01:11]
Yeah the one who lived to tell about[00:01:14]
Why he can't even talk about it[00:01:16]
Keeps fighting that fight up there in his head[00:01:19]
Ain't a day goes by he don't wonder why[00:01:23]
Why it wasn't me instead[00:01:26]
It could've been me instead[00:01:28]
Oh that's a man[00:01:31]
That's a you don't know how hard he tried to save his buddy's life man[00:01:39]
I don't know about you[00:01:49]
Sometimes I just need a little reminder[00:01:51]
I'll be working through this world with plans and results Yes I have[00:01:57]
No and never hurt a man to try to be a better man[00:02:05]
And reach down and find some understanding[00:02:10]
Find some kind of kindness[00:02:17]
Read about a man who said his family[00:02:38]
Had been farming the same land in Ohio for 100 years[00:02:40]
Felt like he'd paid for it ten times over[00:02:46]
With his own blood his own sweat and his own tears[00:02:50]
If he had to he'd be out there on that tractor working[00:02:54]
Seven long hot days a week[00:02:58]
Yeah he's the kind of feller that people get real quiet[00:03:02]
When he stands up in church to speak[00:03:05]
They know when he speaks[00:03:08]
Oh that's a man[00:03:10]
That's a stand tall walk straight[00:03:18]
Put God's share in the collection plate man[00:03:20]
Oh that's a man[00:03:27]
Oh that's a man[00:03:35]
