Walking through the darkness
I finally see the light
I can tell what’s coming
And I know it’s right

Like a comet spinning
I know that I can
Rebound and get back up again
I can be a man

(Whatever that is!)

Had to hit rock bottom
To see the steps above
Didn’t know I had it then
Had to learn to love

I can feel the thunder now
Feel the surge inside
I turn to face the lightening
I won’t run and hide

Hearing subtle tones now
Seeing hidden hues
All I had to change was thought
A different point of view

Grab the future by its horns
Ride the mounting storm
I know I can do it
Make a laugh my norm

I know I can do it
Yes I know I can
I will make my future
I will be a man

(Whatever that is?)

Power surges in me now
Can feel the rising tide
See directions long thought lost
Can feel it deep inside
Once I was in hiding
Afraid to show my face
Afraid to see the light of day
I thought I knew my place

I face the rising sun now
Plant my feet apart
Hands placed on my hips
This is a brand new start
As the sun just tips the plane
I raise my head real high
I shout my being to the world
In joy tears fill my eye

I know that I can do it
I know because I am
I will make my future
I know I’m a man

(I know!)
