The Child, The Man

[Verse 1: Adam Snyder]
A child I was when I was young
I had someone to hold my hand
Then, one day, I put my toys away
Stood up and became a man
Took up my cross, and my burden
Shod my feet and I went
Walked the path, kept moving forward
I knew my task was Heaven sent

[Chorus: Adam Snyder]
Standing at the threshold
Sword in my hand
Take a breath and bravely go
A child no more, I am a man

[Verse 2: Adam Snyder]
Heavy cross, burden to bear
Hidden pain down deep inside
Summon strength in my despair
I'm not weak, I will not hide

[Bridge: Adam Snyder]
Going toward the day of reckoning
I know I will surely die
But as I a man I keep going
Unlike a child I will not hide

[Verse 3: Adam Snyder & Colbee Snyder]
Stand up tall and face your burden
If you believe you will bе tried
Put away your wicked playthings
Get on your horsе, go forth, and ride
