Track byThe Oscar Peterson Trio
I'm reaching, i'm calling but u don't seem 2 hear i long 4 the hand of the man the man who gave me life no shoulder, 2 cry on no law when my choice was wrong my shadows of emptiness i find them everywhere (Chorus:) i'll never know ( i'll never know ) the man i'll never be ( no, never) i missed out on the arms that made me strong but u won't get that from me (won't get that from me ) the woman, a mother can only fill the shoes but a boy needs a man 2 teach him how 2 be a man i'll never know ( i'll never know ) the man i'll never be ( no, never ) 1 thing i know ( 1 thing i know ) is my children will know who i am ( who i am ) cuz, i missed out on the arms that made me strong but u won't get that from me ( won't get that from me ) (Solo) (Chorus) 1 thing i know ( 1 thing i know ) is my children will know who i am (who i am ) 4ever i intend that i will always be the man i need 2 be
