I'm reaching, I'm calling
But you don't seem 2 hear
I long 4 the hand of the man
The man who gave me life
No shoulder, 2 cry on
No law when my choice was wrong
My shadows of emptiness
I find them everywhere
(Chorus:)
I'll never know (i'll never know)
The man i'll never be (no, never)
I missed out on the arms that made me strong
But you won't get that from me (won't get that from me)
The woman, a mother
Can only fill the shoes
But a boy needs a man
2 teach him how 2 be a man
I'll never know (i'll never know)
The man i'll never be (no, never)
1 thing I know (1 thing I know)
Is my children will know who I am (who I am)
Cuz, I missed out on the arms that made me strong
But you won't get that from me (won't get that from me)
(Solo)
[Chorus:]
1 thing I know (1 thing I know)
Is my children will know who I am (who I am)
4ever I intend that I will always be
The man I need 2 be
