Frank Viele - Trying to Raise a Man Lyrics

Looking Back On My Younger Days
Thinking About How Hard You Tried
I Was Learning Lessons As An Adolescent
And It Can Be Hard To Watch Sometimes

Now I Know Those Days Are Gone
And Time Ain't On Our Side
And It's A Tough Pill To Swallow Now
But I'm Stronger From The Hard Times

We Didn't Always See Eye To Eye
But I've Learned To Understand
And I Know That Life Wasn't Easy, Mama
Trying To Raise A Man

Me And You Against The World
At A Young Age of Sixteen
Growing Up Way Too Fast
And Chasing A Storybook Dream

We Didn't Always See Eye To Eye
But I've Learned To Understand
And I Know That Life Wasn't Easy, Mama
Trying To Raise A Man

People Tell Me I'm Strong
But This World Can Break A Man
And It's You That Taught Me To Hold On
And How To Hold A Heart In My Hand

We Didn't Always See Eye To Eye
But I've Learned To Understand
And I Know That Life Wasn't Easy, Mama
Trying To Raise A Man
And I Know That Life Wasn't Easy, Mama
Trying To Raise A Man
