Dad taught me to be a man Stand your ground don't you bend Win or lose it's all the same In my heart I fear no pain Fights I've seen so many times Some I won some I left blind But I never felt defeat Never felt like I got beat Stand and fight never fall Hold your ground face it all In the ring or out in life Be a man and face the strife Scars and bruises tell the tale Of battles fought without fail Win or lose it's just a game In my chest the fire's aflame Stand and fight never fall Hold your ground face it all In the ring or out in life Be a man and face the strife Every punch a lesson learned Every hit a page that's turned In my soul the strength will rise Look at life through fearless eyes
