Be the right man

Yeah… I used to sit with my old man late at night.

“How do I find the one, Pops? How do I get it right?”

He looked ahead with a still kind of stance.

Said, “Son, quit searching… just be the right man.”

Feet on the ground, heart on fire,

Lessons come through pain and miles.

Before you chase what you don’t understand,

Ask yourself… am I the right man?

Forget finding the right woman.

Focus on the man you become.

Love doesn’t crash in loud like thunder;

It walks slow… and doesn’t run.

Be steady, be real, do what you can.

Forget the search… just be the right man.

He said, “Son, I have walked some long roads,

Made mistakes nobody knows.

But nothing lasts if you don’t stand

For truth, for peace, for being a man.”

With quiet strength and a steady plan,

He said, “What you live becomes who you are.”

Feet on the ground, heart on fire,

Lessons come through pain and miles.

Before you chase what you don’t understand,

Ask yourself… am I the right man?

Forget finding the right woman.

Focus on the man you become.

Love doesn’t crash in loud like thunder;

It walks slow… and doesn’t run.

Be steady, be real, do what you can.

Forget the search… just be the right man.

I have been lost, I have been blind,

Trying to read love like a sign.

But every time I lost my way,

It was me that had to change.

He said, “You don’t need perfect to find your place—

You just need heart… and a little grace.”

You won’t catch love by force

If your soul isn’t set on course.

Let her find you standing tall—

And if she doesn’t… don’t fall at all.

Forget finding the right woman.

Focus on the man you become.

Love doesn’t crash in loud like thunder;

It walks slow… and doesn’t run.

Be steady, be real, do what you can.

Forget the search… just be the right man.

Now I am the one with boys by my side,

Teaching them truth as the days go by.

Trying to raise them with open hands,

Living these words just like my old man.

Because what you show is what they will stand,

And I am still growing to be the right man.

So when my boys ask me one day,

“Dad… how do I find love that stays?”

I will smile and reach for their little hands,

Say, “Don’t chase her, sons… just be the right man.”
