Ben Rector
What Makes a Man
[Intro: Ben Rector]
One, two
[Verse 1: Ben Rector]
Well, my father
He'll never see his name in lights
Worked at a desk his whole damn life
Didn't chase his dreams
Gave himself so me and my sisters would be alright
Sometimes I wonder
They'll say of me when I am gone
When my daughters livin' on, yeah
Will she care if strangers thought that I was famous
Or just that I was never home?
[Chorus: Ben Rector]
Is it the things you've done, the places that you've been?
Chasin' down some dream you'vе been imaginin'?
Or is it makin' peace with who you are and whеre you stand?
I'm tryin' to find what makes a man
Oh, woah, oh
What makes a man
[Verse 2: Thomas Rhett]
If I'm honest
I'm plagued by the fear that I'm not enough, yeah
So I work hard to measure up
I've run a million miles, climbed a mountain high
Felt the same when I was done
[Chorus: Thomas Rhett]
Is it the things you've done, the places that you've been?
Or chasin' down some dream you've been imaginin'
Or is it makin' peace with who you are and where you stand?
Oh, I'm tryin' to find what makes a man
[Bridge: Ben Rector]
Is it power?
Is it fame?
Is it money?
Is it just a game?
Is it always wanting more?
Or is it in finding peace in what you had all along?
[Chorus: Ben Rector, Thomas Rhett, Both]
Is it the things you've done, the places that you've been?
Chasin' down some dream you've been imaginin'?
Or is it makin' peace with who you are and where you stand?
I'm tryin' to find
What makes a man
I've been tryin' to find
What makes a man
I've been tryin' to find
What makes a man
What makes a man
I've been tryin' to find
What makes a man
