Emerson Drive - A Boy Becomes A Man lyrics

(Brad Mates/Danick Dupelle/Keith Follese/Adrienne Follese)

I was only twelve years old

The day was warm, my heart went cold

Mama said, your daddy's gone

Son, you're gonna have to grow up fast

The two of us is all we have

I need you to be strong

That's the day a boy became a man

Every broken road and stepping stone

Has made me who I am

I learned to love, I learned to cry

And even how to say goodbye

And I'm still trying to understand

How a boy became a man

She was only seventeen

The prettiest girl I'd ever seen

On a blanket underneath the stars

By the river we got swept away

In just one night my whole life changed

We should have never gone that far

That's the day a boy became a man

Every broken road and stepping stone

Has made me who I am

I learned to love, I learned to laugh

How to give someone all I have

And I'm still trying to understand

How a boy became a man

On the day we swore our love

In front of God and everyone

That's the day a boy became a man

With an angel walking by my side

And a baby in my hand

I learned to laugh, I learned to cry

And just be thankful for this life

And I think I finally understand

How a boy becomes a man
