I am a Young Man <br />Learning right from wrong <br />Trying my best to be my best <br />But I don’t always feel so strong <br /> <br />And it seems to me every lesson learnt <br />Is from another mistake I’ve made <br />As every grain of sand falls through my hands <br />I just don’t know if I can stay <br /> <br />So I walk on <br />So I walk on <br /> <br />I think I heard someone say <br />That experience is the key <br />Don’t ever try to run or try to hide <br />And take on every fear You keep <br /> <br />But when Your out all on Your own <br />Drowning in a lake of fire <br />It gets hard to save yourself from Yourself <br />Until You know you must go higher <br /> <br />So I walk on <br />So I walk on <br /> <br />So I think I’m getting it now <br />What it is to be a man <br />You have to find someone to share with <br />And protect them the best You can <br /> <br />So the moral of this story is <br />Is You shouldn’t be all alone <br />Love and family is the master key <br />And that’s something I should have known <br /> <br />So I walk home <br />So I walk home<br /><br />Tim David Cook<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/young-man-3/
