The Kind of Man by The Color Lyrics
If I speak in words like angels
Or climb the highest peak
Fight for fame, or build my name
So the world remembers me
It'll fade like stars in morning
A wisper in a crowd
It'll all dissolve to nothing
If that's what my life's about
So I pray, I pray
Lord make a man who loves his kids and loves his wife
Lord make me a man who always stands for what is right
Who's strong enough to fight a war, by falling to his knees
Cos' that's the kind of man, that's the kind of man I wanna be
Slow to speak and quick to listen
Doesn't fear and doesn't boast
Full of faith, full of joy
Always holding onto hope
Faithful through the darkness
Even when the night is long
And knowing in my weakness
That's wherе you show you're strong
Lord make a man who loves his kids and lovеs his wife
Lord make me a man who always stands for what is right
Who's strong enough to fight a war, but fall into his knees
Cos' that's the kind of man, that's the kind of man I wanna be
That's the kind of man I want to be
When my life is over
And I cross the crystal sea
Let the ones I leave behind say
They saw You in me
Lord make a man who loves his kids and loves his wife
Lord make me a man who always stands for what is right
Who's strong enough to fight a war, but fall into his knees
Cos' that's the kind of man, that's the kind of man I wanna be
That's the kind of man I want to be
Or climb the highest peak
Fight for fame, or build my name
So the world remembers me
It'll fade like stars in morning
A wisper in a crowd
It'll all dissolve to nothing
If that's what my life's about
So I pray, I pray
Lord make a man who loves his kids and loves his wife
Lord make me a man who always stands for what is right
Who's strong enough to fight a war, by falling to his knees
Cos' that's the kind of man, that's the kind of man I wanna be
Slow to speak and quick to listen
Doesn't fear and doesn't boast
Full of faith, full of joy
Always holding onto hope
Faithful through the darkness
Even when the night is long
And knowing in my weakness
That's wherе you show you're strong
Lord make a man who loves his kids and lovеs his wife
Lord make me a man who always stands for what is right
Who's strong enough to fight a war, but fall into his knees
Cos' that's the kind of man, that's the kind of man I wanna be
That's the kind of man I want to be
When my life is over
And I cross the crystal sea
Let the ones I leave behind say
They saw You in me
Lord make a man who loves his kids and loves his wife
Lord make me a man who always stands for what is right
Who's strong enough to fight a war, but fall into his knees
Cos' that's the kind of man, that's the kind of man I wanna be
That's the kind of man I want to be
