BECAUSE I AM A MAN

Don’t be afraid of the unknown
Don’t let fear take hold
Being a man means standing strong
Nobody likes a coward
Negative thoughts put me down
But I get up and brush myself off
Ready to fight my fears
Ready to fight temptation
I will move forward
Always prepared to win
Because I am a man
Ready to face any consequences that come my way
I will be brave
Because I am a man
