Lyrics
Hey little man, hey little man
I might be gone, but I still see you
I still hear you laugh
Even though this wasn't my plan
I hope you to be a good little man
Hey little man, hey little man
I might be gone, but I won't forget
The way you made me smile
Though it may be a while
I hope you to be a good little man
Don't rush your life away
Always know there's love in your heart
Walk with your head held high
And you can learn to fly
Hey little man, hey little man
I might be gone but I wish I could
Show you all the glory, no
That's not our story, so
I hope you to be a good little man
Never make excuses, tell the truth no matter what
Know who you are from within and know you are strong
Hey little man, hey little man
I hope you to be a good MAN
A good MAN
