COLE ALLEN
Be The Man (I want you to be)
When you smile, I see my smile
When you laugh, I hear my laugh
I hear my East Texas drawl when you say 'Bye Bye'
We both look at your mom with the same twinkle in our eye
​
Is it a blessing, is it a curse?
It's a responsibility
And I want to be the man I want you to be
I want to be the man I want you to be
​
My dad was 10' tall when I was a kid
I emulated everything that he did
I'm thankful for the example that he set for me
Because he was the man I wanted to be
​
Is it a blessing, is it a curse?
It's a responsibility
And I want to be the man I want you to be
I want to be the man I want you to be
​
I want to teach you how to fly
I want to teach you how to fall
So we can both stand 10' tall
​
A perfect example was sent from above
He gave us His life to teach about love
I want to live my life so when you look at me
He is the man that you see
​
Is it a blessing, is it a curse?
It's a responsibility
And I want to be the man I want you to be
I want to be the man I want you to be
Lord help me be the man You want me to be
