[01:06.507]When he was a little boy
[01:08.178]His father used to say,
[01:09.913]"You want to grow to be a man?
[01:11.489]You'd better start today"
[01:13.235]Listen closely to my words
[01:14.895]And I will show you how
[01:16.638]There're seven steps to manhood
[01:18.072]And I'll teach them to you now
[01:19.960]The only thing you'll ever own
[01:21.435]Is what you hold inside
[01:23.463]Your dignity, intelligence
[01:24.232]Your loyalty and pride
[01:26.704]Ego and indifference
[01:27.927]Are cancers of the weak
[01:30.000]Honesty is godliness
[01:31.490]Be truthful when you speak
[01:33.316]If you want to be remembered
[01:34.816]When your earthly life is through
[01:36.593]Then teach your sons to leave their mark
[01:38.335]On everything they do
[01:40.037]Know when to turn the other cheek
[01:41.619]Know when to seek revenge
[01:43.442]The vine that never picks a side
[01:44.929]Dies rotting on the fence
[02:00.016]Son, you wanna grow up
[02:01.745]Think you ought to slow up
[02:03.397]I see disaster in everything you do
[02:06.777]Dad, when I grow up
[02:08.365]Things are gonna blow up
[02:10.043]I'm gonna be a man just like you
[02:13.368]Son, you wanna grow up
[02:15.006]Think you ought to slow up
[02:16.735]I see disaster in everything you do
[02:20.073]Dad, when I grow up
[02:21.746]Things are gonna blow up
[02:23.447]I'm gonna be a man just like you
[02:32.841]When the son became a father
[02:34.570]Then he told his children, too
[02:36.425]"Be mindful of the things I say
[02:37.975]And not the things I do"
[02:39.975]It's very hard to be the man
[02:41.545]You read about in books
[02:43.263]The knights and kings you fantasized
[02:44.954]Now commoners and crooks
[02:46.465]But no one can imprison
[02:48.145]And educated mind
[02:49.951]So be yourself and free yourself
[02:51.346]By learning all the time
[02:53.342]If you should discover
[02:54.801]You've given all you can
[02:56.476]There's nothing more to answer for
[02:58.085]That's how to be a man
[03:00.068]Son, you wanna grow up
[03:01.712]Think you ought to slow up
[03:03.425]I see disaster in everything you do
[03:06.708]Dad, when I grow up
[03:08.301]Things are gonna blow up
[03:10.025]I'm gonna be a man just like you
[03:13.383]Son, you wanna grow up
[03:14.996]Think you ought to slow up
[03:16.770]I see disaster in everything you do
[03:20.028]Dad, when I grow up
[03:21.773]Things are gonna blow up
[03:23.415]I'm gonna be a man just like you
[04:00.121]Son, you wanna grow up
[04:01.827]Think you ought to slow up
[04:03.425]I see disaster in everything you do
[04:06.774]Dad, when I grow up
[04:08.360]Things are gonna blow up
[04:09.969]I'm gonna be a man just like you
[04:13.423]Son, you wanna grow up
[04:15.024]Think you ought to slow up
[04:16.773]I see disaster in everything you do
[04:19.905]Dad, when I grow up
[04:21.696]Things are gonna blow up
[04:23.452]I'm gonna be a man just like you
[04:29.901]I'm gonna be a man just like you
