There's been good years and there's been walls
There's been times I've been walkin' tall
I have loved and I have lost
I have lived and I've paid the cost
I guess the good Lord made me a man
And I am.

I have dreams and I have soul
I've been blessed like no one I know
I've seen heaven and I've known hell
I've been told things that I never tell
Yeah, the good Lord made me a man
And I am.

This old world keeps on turnin'
And I have no regrets
Every night I know I got a good hand to hold
When I lay down my head.

I'll keep on till I die
I'll just do it and never ask why
See the good Lord made me a man
And I am.

Yes, the good Lord made me a man
And I am...
