Good Man - Nick Howard

My mother said to me

When I was young

She said then nothing

But she’d never hold me down

She tough me everything

And gave me a plan

So I’ll do my best for her

Whenever I can

She said when you’re older

And a little bit wiser

You can make a difference

You can make a change

If you never stop fighting

And you never quit trying

Then you’ll get rise up

You can be a flame

You can be a good man

You can be a good man

You can be a good man

Yeah

My daddy left us

When we were young

He showed me nothing

About how to be a man

My mama showed me

How to write a song

She said it’s all possible

If your heart is strong

She said when you’re older

And a little bit wiser

You can make a difference

You can make a change

If you never stop fighting

And you never quit trying

Then you’ll get rise up

You can be a flame

You can be a good man

You can be a good man

Sometimes when the wrong is the longest hard

But you have a place to call your home

I’ll be right here my love

You will never be alone

You can always call my name

I will watch you here from heaven

My mother’s gone now

Her soul remains

I still think about her

About everything she said

So I’ll show my daughter

Now I’m a man

That she can be anything

‘Cause daddy said she can

You see now that I’m older

And a little bit wiser

I can make a difference

Yeah I can make a change

If I never stop fighting

And I never quit trying

Then I’ll get rise up

Yeah I can be a flame

Ooh I can be a good man

Yeah I can be a good man

Ooh I can be a good man

Yeah I can be a good man

I can be a good man

Yeah

Yeah

Ooh
