For one thing

More lyrics. Mostly about me not quite measuring up to my dad.

how do i know when i've made it
how do i know when i've become a real man
does it just happen when you turn thirty
or do i need a plan

how is it that nothing ever breaks you
how is it that nothing makes you cry
it's really just all about your focus
on what it is that matters in this life

i never even had to ask my dad
he told just by living his life

would you throw it all away for one thing
would you give the back burner to your dreams
would you show them how to live like jesus
and stop living like you

would you stay late when they needed the money
and come home early when you're needed there
you don't have to give up on what you want
as long as what you want is them

i'm glad he's still around to rely on
cause thirty years is coming pretty soon
i hope when it's another thirty later
someone else will say about me too

that i threw it all away for one thing
and i gave the back burner to my dreams
i started living more like jesus
and less like me

i stayed late when they needed the money
i came home early when i was needed there
and i got everything that i wanted
cause what i wanted was them

time will tell
whether i did it right
but i've got no excuse
on a pattern for my life
