"The Man I'll Never Be" lyrics - TALISMAN

I'm reaching, I'm calling
But u don't seem 2 hear
I long 4 the hand of the man
The man who gave me life
No shoulder, 2 cry on
No law when my choice was wrong
My shadows of emptiness
I find them everywhere

[Chorus:]
I'll never know (I'll never know)
The man I'll never be (no, never)
I missed out on the arms that made me strong
But u won't get that from me (won't get that from me)
The woman, a mother
Can only fill the shoes
But a boy needs a man
2 teach him how 2 be a man
I'll never know (I'll never know)
The man I'll never be (no, never)
1 thing I know (1 thing I know)
Is my children will know who I am (who I am)
Cuz, I missed out on the arms that made me strong
But u won't get that from me (won't get that from me)

[Solo]

[Chorus]

1 thing I know (1 thing I know)
Is my children will know who I am (who I am)
4ever I intend that I will always be
The man I need 2 be
