lyrics

To be a man might be the hardest thing
That You might ever do in your life
To say and do what you have to do
You will put yourself out on a limb
So if you slip into the dark stream
You will need to swim

What does a man say to his son
When he does not know what’s in his heart
Everyone can slip and fall
The turbulence of life can drown your calls
And if you slip into the dark stream
You will need to swim

It used to be a man could shake the hand
Of another man and give his word
Why do people turn their backs
On others when they truly are in need?
So if you slip into the dark stream
You will need to swim

Some men think the world is but a heap
The rooster stands on top to crow
Listen past those raucous cries
And listen to the voice inside your heart
And if you slip into the dark stream
You will need to swim

To be a man might be the hardest thing
That you might ever do in your life
When you swim, in the dark stream, where I dwell...

In the dark stream
