To Make the Boy a Man
to make the boy a man
make me all i have to be
if i must make him strong
then let me find his strength in me
to make the boy a man
who can see beyond his eyes
enable me to see into his heart
into his fear
into his doubt
his soul!
to make the boy a man
who can reach beyond his hand
let mine be there to hold
don't let me fall 'till he can stand
as straight as any man
with a bride to make him proud
as tall as any man
his head unbowed and
crowned with stars
with stars
let him be not false but true
and please for me, gentle too
and not afraid to cry
i've got to make him grow
into what he can become
i'm frightened for i know
the little boy i'm starting from
to make the boy a man
and to make the man a king
give me the years
the boy will need
let me be there
give me my prayer
give me my prayer
make me all i have to be
if i must make him strong
then let me find his strength in me
to make the boy a man
who can see beyond his eyes
enable me to see into his heart
into his fear
into his doubt
his soul!
to make the boy a man
who can reach beyond his hand
let mine be there to hold
don't let me fall 'till he can stand
as straight as any man
with a bride to make him proud
as tall as any man
his head unbowed and
crowned with stars
with stars
let him be not false but true
and please for me, gentle too
and not afraid to cry
i've got to make him grow
into what he can become
i'm frightened for i know
the little boy i'm starting from
to make the boy a man
and to make the man a king
give me the years
the boy will need
let me be there
give me my prayer
give me my prayer
