My father he would tell me
That manners maketh man
Keep your smile about you
Keep your temper if you can
And remember son
Manners maketh man
Down in Fulgonis cafe
Where dreams were clarified
Be kind on your way upwards
Be humble on the other side
And remember son
Manners maketh man
Success is not final
Failure is not fatal
The courage to continue
Is what defines you
Am I the person you always hoped I would be?
Sometimes in life we argue
But keep your patience if you can
Keep your wits about you
And keep one eye upon the plan
And remember son manners maketh man
Success is not final
Failure is not fatal
The courage to continue
Is what defines you
Am I the person you always hoped I would be?
You know I open doors that you don't want to walk through
And I see my face as somebody I could talk to
Yes I know I'm angry but I'm happy for a minute
So that all these dreams simply show you what I'm missing
But don't leave me stranded coz its time to make a stand
Yes I heard your message I know Manners Maketh Man
Success is not final
Failure is not fatal
The courage to continue
Is what defines you
Am I the person you always hoped I would be?
