What Makes a Man

(One, two)

Well, my father
He'll never see his name in lights
Worked at a desk his whole damn life
Didn't chase his dreams, gave himself so me
And my sisters would be alright

Sometimes I wonder
They'll say of me when I am gone
When my daughter livin' on, yeah
Will she care if strangers thought that I was famous
Or just that I was never home?

Is it the things you've done, the places that you've been?
Chasin' down some dream you've been imaginin'?
Or is it makin' peace with who you are and where you stand?
I'm tryin' to find what makes a man
Oh, whoa, oh
What makes a man

If I'm honest
I'm plagued by the fear that I'm not enough, yeah
So I work hard to measure up
I've run a million miles, climbed a mountain high
Felt the same when I was done

Is it the things you've done, the places that you've been?
Or chasin' down some dream you've been imaginin'
Or is it makin' peace with who you are and where you stand?
Oh, I'm tryin' to find
What makes a man

Is it power?
Is it fame?
Is it money?
Is it just a game?
Is it always wanting more?
Or is it in finding peace in what you had all along?

Is it the things you've done, the places that you've been?
Chasin' down some dream you've been imaginin'?
Or is it makin' peace with who you are and where you stand?
I'm tryin' to find (what makes a man)
I've been tryin' to find (what makes a man)
I've been tryin' to find
What makes a man

What makes a man
I've been tryin' to find
What makes a man
