"As long as it's okay,
You can go out and have some fun"
I'm a big boy now
I feel my life has just begun
My mother was afraid
I would turn out like my dad
But look at me today
I'm so much different instead
I'm not afraid
I will go out and face the world
But you can say
It's really sad to walk alone
But I will prove you wrong
I have myself to follow through
Today I'm feeling strong
I know exactly what to do
CHORUS
I'll be a man, I'll take the lead
I'll be exactly what I am
(I am a man)
I won't give up until the end
(I am a man)
I'm tryin' ta make you understand
Is there any doubt
That I'm capable
To do anything?
I can prove you wrong.
