[Verse 1]
There's been bridges and there's been walls
There's been times I've been walking 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

[Verse 2]
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

[Verse 3]
This old world keeps on turning 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 'til 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
