I learned how to run before I could walk
They silenced my voice before I could talk
Was chasin' the highs but I still missed the mark
But you were the light, you were the light when I was lost in the dark

I told myself enough is enough
Tired of livin' life for the rush
It's all been a little too much

But you made me a man
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh
You made me a man
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh

You made me a man
You made me a man
You made me a man

Take off the past, there's no going back
Take off the mask, it ain't gonna last
Like a mirage I thought it was magic
Thought it was magic

I told myself enough is enough
Tired of livin' life for the rush
It's all been a little too much

But you made me a man
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh
You made me a man
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh

You made me a man
You made me a man

Take off the past
Take off the mask
Live the magic
