A Decent Man

A Decent Man by Kathryn Cloward

A decent man takes care of responsibilities
A decent man has honor and integrity
A decent man does the right thing
A decent man raised me

A decent man is accountable for his mistakes
A decent man will do whatever it takes
A decent man respects women equally
A decent man loves faithfully

Even when times are rough
Feeling like he’s had enough
A decent man will do his best to see
The silver lining of lessons learned through adversity

Oh a decent man (a decent man) decent man

A decent man is honest with his word
A decent man is patient as others are heard
A decent man volunteers his time
A decent man stands back and lets others shine

Even when times are rough
Feeling like he’s not good enough
A decent man will pray for God to please
Help him be the man he’s created to be

Oh a decent man (a decent man) decent man
Oh a decent man (a decent man) decent man

From the valleys to our earthly skies
May every decent man rise
And be courageous living passionately
With open-hearted love compassion and unity

Oh a decent man (a decent man) decent man
Oh a decent man (a decent man) decent man
Oh a decent man (a decent man) decent man
