Just so you know,
As a man, I cry
When the pain, hurts
When I parry life’s blows

Just so you know,
As a man, I feel weak
So I look for strength,
From God, my Lord

Just so you know,
As a man, I need help
To carry life’s burdens
To navigate its tumultuous waters

Just so you know,
As a man, I need love
A warm hug, holding hands,
A lover’s kiss

Just so you know,
As a man, I love to lead
But first I must learn to follow
And understand authority

Just so you know,
As a man, I get burnt out
When I am tired,
When things don’t always go as planned

Just so you know,
As a man, I fall down
But to get up, I must
And watch my steps, I shan’t falter
