Tell my Father that I’m going to make him proud
And tell my mother that I’m going to keep my head on
Tell my brother that I’m going to fall in love before he does
Oh, and tell my sister that I’m going to call soon
Because I’ve got to go
I’ve got to build something, I’ve got to go
I’ve got to make a life of my own
And I will not stop until these hands have a home
Oh, I’ve got to go
I’m not sure what it is to be a man
But, oh man, I’m just trying as hard as I can
And I’ve been thinking all through the night, about what you said
About how no one’s going to matter when they’re dead
But I’ve got to try
I’ve got to build something, I’ve got to try
I’ve got to do something good with my life
And I will not stop until I run out of time
Oh I’ve got to try
Oh I’ve got to try
I’ve got to build something, I’ve got to try
I’ve got to do something good with my life
And I will not stop until I run out of time
