Child To A Man - Peter Himmelman
you say that I never wrote a song for you
but you could never understand
what could I sing for one who was there as I grew
from a child to a man
a child into a man
I used to criticize you every move
but you just lead me by the hand
you never wavered once as I painfully grew
from a child to a man
a child into a man
all my silence
never meant that I didn't care
you just call
and I'll be there
if I ever spoke the truth to you
the words in me would stretch across this land
they'd be pouring out like a storm for the one who loved me as I grew
from a child to a man
a child into a man
a child to a man
a child to a man
all my silence
never meant that I didn't care
you just call
and I'll be there
well the years they spin like wheels
they keep rolling on through
and only God knows the plan
well you eased my fears
and gave me comfort as I grew
from a child to a man
a child to a man
all my silence
never meant that I didn't care
you just call
and I'll be there
a child to a man
from a child to a man
a child to a man
a child to a man
