A man must rise
from the decadent youth
stand tall in fear
and know the truth
for when he sheds
that infant tooth
a man will rise for sure
A man must rise
and face the blows
from the fists of the soul
are the jabs he throws
from the battered body
and the bloodied nose
a man will rise again
A man must rise
and lead the boy
shield him with love
and comfort the cry
when the boy falls
show him how to try
and a man will rise someday.

The measure of a man

A day isn't wasted
if a memory is made
to live in a moment
and not be afraid
to feel the feeling
and not let it fade,
a day isn't wasted
if a memory is made
A day isn't wasted
if a memory is made
to put into place
that plan best laid
to change the colour
to a different shade,
a day isn't wasted
if a memory is made
A day isn't wasted
if a memory is made
when the moment passses
the fee is paid
but when you remember
the hour and the day,
a day isn't wasted
if a memory is made.
