Verse 1
They say a man should be a mountain,
Standing tall against the storm,
Never showing cracks or weakness,
Always keeping strong and warm.
But I’ve learned there’s something deeper,
Than a wall of solid stone,
It’s the quiet strength he carries,
When he bears the weight alone.
Pre-Chorus
It’s not the thunder that defines him,
It’s the rain that helps things grow.
Chorus
A man isn’t a fortress, all cold, unbending stone,
He’s the river that carved it, patient and deep and alone.
He doesn’t just stand there, imposing and tall,
He’s the roots in the dark earth that heed the quiet call.
Strong like the oak, but he bends in the breeze,
Has the calm of deep water, puts my restless heart at ease.
He’s not just a shelter, he’s the ground where I grow,
That’s the man… that you should know.
Verse 2
He’s the hand that keeps on reaching,
When the road gets hard to see,
The steady light beside me,
When doubt is chasing me.
Not afraid to carry burdens,
Not ashamed to feel the pain,
He’s the kind of strength that’s humble,
Like sunshine after rain.
Pre-Chorus
It’s not in how loud he speaks,
It’s in the love he chooses to show.
Chorus
A man isn’t a fortress, all cold, unbending stone,
He’s the river that carved it, patient and deep and alone.
He doesn’t just stand there, imposing and tall,
He’s the roots in the dark earth that heed the quiet call.
Strong like the oak, but he bends in the breeze,
Has the calm of deep water, puts my restless heart at ease.
He’s not just a shelter, he’s the ground where I grow,
That’s the man… that you should know.
Bridge
He’s the lesson in forgiveness,
The courage to begin again,
The strength to hold a family close,
Through losses and through wins.
And every scar upon his hands,
Tells a story time can’t erase,
Of a man who built a life with love,
And left the world a better place.
Rap Verse
Yeah, he ain’t made of concrete, he got a heartbeat too,
Carries all the heavy weight but still comes pulling through.
Hands rough from the work, heart soft where it counts,
Building up a family while the years keep adding up.
Not a king on a throne, just a man standing strong,
Holding on through the hard days, loving all along.
Look a little deeper than the strength he lets show,
You’ll see the heart of the man that you should know.
Final Chorus
A man isn’t a fortress, all cold, unbending stone,
He’s the river that carved it, patient and deep and alone.
He’s the roots beneath the forest,
The steady place I call home.
Strong like the oak, but he bends in the breeze,
Has the calm of deep water, puts my restless heart at ease.
He’s not just a shelter, he’s the ground where I grow,
That’s the man, the husband, the father, the soul—
Yeah, that’s the man… that you should know.
Outro
Not the walls that stand around him,
But the love that he lets show.
That’s the man…
The man you should know.
Oh, that’s the man…
The man you should know.
