When I was young
I believed in better tomorrow
In times of good, times of bad
Time after time
But I was strong:
I never fell to sorrow
Thanks to daddy and mom;
I am a man

Before I die
I believe in better future
That our children will make
A better world
No wars or hate
No tears or sorrow
I really hope they will live
Like a man

Just like a man
We will make it
Yes we can
Together we will make
A better future
For a man

When I was young
I believed in better tomorrow
In times of good, times of bad
Time after time
But I was strong:
I never fell to sorrow
Thanks to daddy and mom;
I am a man
Just like a man
