[Verse]
Sometimes when the nighttime comes
I'm not ready
I look for courage in my heart
And I don't find any
[?]
I've learnt nothing in this life at all
[Chorus]
But I know that a man's got to stand
On his own two feet
A mans got to fight, oh
When he's drowning on his knees
A man's got to know the taste
Of the bitter as well as the sweet
So the boy becomes a man
And I smile as you stand on your own two feet
[Verse]
Sometimes when I see your eyes, I
I grow afraid
I look for beauty in this world
A reflection in your open heart and in your smiling face
I gotta shield you from sadness and trouble
For as long as I can
[Chorus]
But I know that a man's
Got to stand
On his own two feet
A man's got to fight, oh
When he's drownin on his knees
A man's gotta know the taste
Of the bitter as well as the sweet
So the boy becomes the man
And I smile as I watch you stand on your own two feet
[Harmonica Solo]
[Chorus]
I know that a man's gotta stand
On his own two feet
A man's got to fight
When he's drownin on his knees
A man's gotta know the taste
Of the bitter as well as the sweet
So the boy becomes the man
And I smile as you stand
And I smile as you stand
On your own
Two
Feet
