Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Two lines left
For the crossword boss
Twenty-one down, fifteen across
He puts down the baby
Picks up the toys
Makes a little coffee
Finds a little joy
[Chorus]
He don't let regret define his destiny
Just keeps moving toward the man he's gonna be
[Verse 2]
So I sat on the front porch
With the cigar king
Saw the smoke rings rising
Heard the redbird sing
I said, "I'm hurting"
He said, "I know
Pull back the curtain
Let the teardrops flow"
[Chorus]
Put his hand on my head, said, "Wait and see
You'll keep moving toward the man you're gonna be"
[Verse 3]
Went to the country
Sat in the dark
Tried to right the wrongs
Tried to count the stars
When a firefly flew down
On my leg to land
Felt like my lover
Reaching out her hand
[Chorus]
The way she sees me leaves me feeling free
Keeps me moving toward the man I'm gonna be
Live and breathe, wait and see
Just keep moving toward the man I'm gonna be
