Yeah, mmm
It’s heavy, but we keep moving
Waking up before the sunrise hits the floor
Another day, another battle, just to open up the door
Trying to be the rock for everyone I hold so dear
But lately, I’ve been fighting off this quiet kind of fear
It’s a long road, working hard to keep the lights on bright
Carrying the weight of the world deep into the night
Yeah, baby, it’s not easy, trying to do it all right
It’s not easy to be a man, yeah
Trying to keep the vision while I’m doing the best I can
With a family to lead, and a promise to keep
Sometimes the silence is a mountain, and the water is deep
But I pray for the strength, I pray for the way
I’m a man on a mission, gonna be okay
Oh, yeah, just keep holding on
Sometimes I’m doing my best and they still want a little more
Checking every box, searching for what they’re looking for
It’s easy to feel like you’re breaking under all the strain
Like you’re walking through the fire and standing in the rain
But I know that patience is the key that opens every door
It gives me the focus that I didn't have before
Keep the faith, oh, you know I’m gonna soar
It’s not easy to be a man, yeah
Trying to keep the vision while I’m doing the best I can
With a family to lead, and a promise to keep
Sometimes the silence is a mountain, and the water is deep
But I pray for the strength, I pray for the way
I’m a man on a mission, gonna be okay
Oh, yeah, just keep holding on
'Cause patience yields the harvest, yeah, it turns the tide
With a heart full of hope and a little bit of pride
I’m leaning on my prayers, I’m leaning on the truth
That the struggle is just building up the life I’m living through
Come here, let it settle, let it flow
Success ain't just the finish line, it’s how you handle the pace
Keeping steady in the middle of this relentless race
My children and my wife are the rhythm in my chest
I’m giving them the best of me, I’m passing every test
Yeah, I’m still standing, I’m still moving on
Looking for the promise of a brand new dawn
It’s not easy to be a man, yeah
Trying to keep the vision while I’m doing the best I can
With a family to lead, and a promise to keep
Sometimes the silence is a mountain, and the water is deep
But I pray for the strength, I pray for the way
I’m a man on a mission, gonna be okay
Oh, yeah, just keep holding on
I need you to stay focused, man
Just breathe, keep praying
It’s all gonna work out, baby
Yeah, we're gonna succeed
Just hold on, just hold on
