Emerson Drive - A Boy Becomes A Man lyrics

rate me

(Brad Mates/Danick Dupelle/Keith Follese/Adrienne Follese) I was only twelve years old The day was warm, my heart went cold Mama said, your daddy's gone Son, you're gonna have to grow up fast The two of us is all we have I need you to be strong That's the day a boy became a man Every broken road and stepping stone Has made me who I am I learned to love, I learned to cry And even how to say goodbye And I'm still trying to understand How a boy became a man She was only seventeen The prettiest girl I'd ever seen On a blanket underneath the stars By the river we got swept away In just one night my whole life changed We should have never gone that far That's the day a boy became a man Every broken road and stepping stone Has made me who I am I learned to love, I learned to laugh How to give someone all I have And I'm still trying to understand How a boy became a man On the day we swore our love In front of God and everyone That's the day a boy became a man With an angel walking by my side And a baby in my hand I learned to laugh, I learned to cry And just be thankful for this life And I think I finally understand How a boy becomes a man
