He is a man, he will know what to do

The journey was long and rough,
The mother could not go any further. 
For the child, a boy things got tough.
Sunny was the weather, 
Hunger and thirst stroke as death tried to triumph. 

He's a man he will know what to do

 
The woman, a mother to a man soon to be
Could hear foot step of death approach 
She knew she would die like a bee 
And tears streamed down her cheeks like soldiers in march 
When she thought of her son, a man to be. 

He's a man he will know what to do

 
The war back at home
Forced children to become men 
All for the sake of glory and fame 
Causing women and children to run 
While the war grows bloom. 

He's a man he will know what to do

 
Death got near and near,
The woman did not know what to do,
She held her son tight with fear 
And whispered you're a man you will know what to do. 
The boy seemed not to hear. 

He's a man he will know what to do

''Mom! Mom! Don't sleep 
We still have a long journey ahead ''
The boy started to weep 
But the woman was dead 
That hurt him so deep. 

He's a man he will know what to do
