Modern Man

Muscles and money riding into the sun
Everybody wants fifteen minutes, to play every game and win it
Feel like McGwire hitting sixty-two homeruns
Do you feel like all that matters, is bigger, better faster
And you wonder if you really measure up
Well I do, and I will
Keep trying but still
Sometimes I need to be reminded who I truly am

I'm a brother, I'm a father, I'm a husband, I'm a son
A man who's work can not be measured just by work his hands have done
I'm a dreamer, I'm a lover, I'm a fighter, I'm a friend
And I'm doing the best I can
To be a modern man

You say you want man who's gentle, understanding and sentimental
Someone strong enough to let you be you
Lord knows baby I keep trying, and you know that I'd be lying
To say it's easy what I'm going through
But I do and for you
I'll keep trying but still
Sometimes I need to be reminded that you know who I am

I'm a brother, I'm a father, I'm a husband, I'm a son
A man who's work can not be measured just by work his hands have done
I'm a dreamer, I'm a lover, I'm a fighter, I'm a friend
And I'm doing the best I can
To be a modern man

I don't have all the answers but I've got a plan
Yeah I'm gonna love you and be who I am (oh who I am)

I'm a brother, I'm a father, I'm your husband, I'm a son
A man who's work can not be measured just by work his hands have done
I'm a dreamer, I'm a lover, I'm a fighter, I'm a friend
And I'm doing the best I can
To be a modern man

I'm a modern man
