Today I am a man
fighting hand to hand
Gonna kill a man
Leave him in the sand
Gun firmly in my hand
Today I kill a man

Today I am a man
In a foreign land
I killed another man
His blood is in the sand
I watched it as it ran
Now I am a man

Today I am a man
I finally made a stand
I watched a dying man
I didn’t lend my hand
He bleed out in the sand
Today I am a man

Today they made a man
New member in their clan
Murder was their plan
They made me understand
To follow the command
And kill another man

I am a soldier man
Who killed to be a man
But killing by my hand
Was not what I had planned
But still I am a man
Today I am a man
