Story Behind The Song

Yet another tuesday night jam session for Merjer musiK.

Song Description

The experiences we have with each other, the daily accumulation of things said and done to us and for us are what shape who we become. This song is a celebration of those little favors and the unsung heroes who granted them to us.

Lyrics

Little boy standing on the corner
Waiting for his big day
This would be the first time he?d been away

He cried and cried and tried to tell her
Mama, don?t make me go
She packed him a lunch and sent him off to school

You?ll never know how much that meant to me
First day I tried to be a man
That one little thing you did for me
That made me who I am

Young man walking down the highway
Running away from home
Thought he?d be better off out on his own

Thumbing a ride to his next stop
He came upon Rev. Hayes
Ten miles down he saw the error of his ways

You?ll never know how much that meant to me
That day I thought I was a man
That one little thing you said to me
That made me who I am

Pacing up and down the hallway
The baby?s come at last
Wondering how his life?s gone by so fast

The first time she looked into his eyes
He knew his life had changed
He wondered if his daddy had felt the same

You?ll never know how much that meant to me
That day that I became a man
That one little look you gave to me
That made me who I am
That?s why I?m who I am

Little girl standing on the corner
Waiting for her big day?
