Change A Man (Rory Bourke/David Shiels)




Runnin’ wild, runnin’ free

That’s how I thought my life would be

Come and go as I please

Then the baby came brought a change of scene

Now I lie awake at night	

And wonder how I will survive

With a baby and a wife 

And all this life



(Chorus)

‘Cause it can change a man, I know it’s changing me

I used to sleep ‘til  noon, now I’m up at three

No more hanging with the boys 

And have some beers and shoot the breeze

It can change a man, bring him to his knees

Stand him up like a tall oak tree

I’m beginning to understand

How a child can change a man



He just lays there, don’t say much

‘Cept for some goo-goos and some ga-gas and kooing when he’s touched

I don’t mind now when he makes a fuss

And every new day is a lesson in trust

When he’s lying there beside me

I thank God that I’m alive

With a baby and a wife

And all this life



(Chorus)

 ‘Cause it can change a man, I know it’s changing me

I used to sleep ‘til noon, now I’m up at three

Now the boys come over here

To have some beers and shoot the breeze

It can change a man, bring him to his knees

And stand him up like a tall oak tree

I’m beginning to understand

How a child can change a man



(Bridge)

And it wasn’t all that long ago I could have run away

But when I see myself there in his eyes

It’s then I know I’m here to stay



(Chorus)

 ‘Cause it can change a man, keeps changing me

I’m a better man than I used to be

And when I look in the mirror I like the guy I see

It can change a man, bring him to his knees

And stand him up strong like a tall oak tree

I believe I understand

How a child can change man I’ve really changed

A child can really change a man
