let's gather round the supper table, and tell the boy he's just as able to die with his boots untied evening's come, let's settle down and sing one more song without a frown sing for, sing for our voices and more, sing for our choices, just don't lie, lie, lie, lie, lie...
love must stand when raising a man... raising a man... to teach him direction and the best that he can and lesson one, you will run, sink into your chair with fright
a baby boy is born today where comes he from, where will he play will he run or will he stand now i lay him down to sleep a state of mind, his soul will keep. i give him words, words to say that he might love, love everyday just don't lie, lie, lie, lie, lie...
love must stand when raising a man to teach him direction and the best that he can and lesson one, you will run, sink into your chair with fright
but the night, the night night night, the night's all right...
