That's Not a Boy...

Verse 1

When I first laid eyes on you,

the room got real honest,

All the noise in my head went quiet

And something in me whispered through the static and the promise:

That’s not a boy, that’s a man.

Pre-Chorus

I've heard thunder with no rain,

I've seen peacocks on parade

I've seen love wrapped up in chains

But your quiet grace went further than the loudest stadium band.

Chorus

That’s not a boy, that’s a man,

Strength with open hands,

And Rooted like an old oak tree,

Gentle as the summer breeze.

Humility in your halo,

Kindness in your plan,

Protective as the morning light—

That’s not a boy, that’s a man.

Verse 2

I looked straight into your soul,

and it steadily stared right back

With No scramble to be higher

Just to prove you can.

No macho posturing or misogyny

No intolerance, no superiority

Just a truth that stands without a throne or a hand held rose.

You didn’t pull me under—you just pulled up a chair,

You Didn’t need an audience to show me that you cared.

Chorus

That’s not a boy, that’s a man,

Strength with open hands,

And Rooted like an old oak tree,

Gentle as the summer breeze.

Humility in your halo,

Kindness in your plan,

Protective as the morning light—

That’s not a boy, that’s a man.

Say it again,

I'll say it again

while you hold my hand—

You're not a boy, you're a man
