Strong Man

Original

Strong men

They don't always get the spotlight

But they carry the weight

Quietly, consistently

With strength that doesn't need to be seen

To be real

They leave when it's lonely

They pray when they're tired

They love their families more than they love their pride

They don't flex for applause

They fight for their legacy

They're not perfect, but they're present

Not flawless, but faithful

It's VEDO baby

Real men don't cry (Yeah)

That's what I was always taught

Work to provide

'Cause if we ain't got it

It's my fault

Never show a weakness

That's when it sneaks in

So I gotta stand 10 toes down

And even if it tears me up

Don't let them see your head held down

I went to war with myself for you

A few things I had to unveil

The truth, just to be a strong man

Just to be a stronger man for you

I went to war with my selfish truths

Some things I had to confess to you

Just to be a strong man

So I can be a stronger man for you

Some days I'm good

And simply at times I'm not

Some are long

Good days are few

I still put on my smile for you (Oh I'm just)

I'm just a man trying to stay true

And every day is better with you

By my side, yeah

You just don't know

You just don't know

I went to war with myself for you

A few things I had to unveil

The truth, just to be a strong man (A strong man)

Just to be a stronger man for you

I went to war with my selfish truths

Some things I had to confess to you (I must confess yeah)

Just to be a strong man (A strong strong man)

So I could be a stronger man for you

Strong men stand up

In a world that tells men to shrink back

They lift more than weights

They lift burdens

They break cycles

They build futures

They embody integrity when no-one is looking

They're fathers, brothers, sons, and mentors

Gentle with hearts, but fierce with demons

Tough with truth, tender with love

Men of god, men of grit, men of grace
