lyrics

My old man was a boxer
With scars on his forehead
From battles he lost
Any day, any night
He would boast that he’d fight
Any guy that he crossed

I was only eleven
When he said he would teach me
How to fight like a man
He would say with high hopes
That he’d show me the ropes
And every morning, we ran
In the snow
Ohhh
In the snow
We’d go running, running off into the snow

Dad would oft lose his temper
He would shout at my mother
Punch a hole through the wall
And some days it would be
Up to little old me
To end this old brawl

I’d walk into the war zone
He’d turned quick with a right hook
I’d fall down to the floor
And with blood on my mouth he continued to shout
So I ran out the door
In the snow
Ohhh
In the snow
I’d go running, running off into the snow

Just your strength doesn’t make you a hero
Try to listen as much as you can
You can win all the wars
And can slam all the doors
But that still doesn’t make you a man

Cause a war can be stopped without fighting
Without shouting or calling out names
Once it’s all said and done
And you think have won
You’ll be left with the scars and the blame

So my friend, please remember
What makes you a man is not strength or your pride
It’s the love that can grow
And the courage to show
All you’re feeling inside

When you’re out in the big world
If you ever have questions
I will be here to talk
Here to give you a nudge
And to not ever judge
And to go for a walk
In the snow
Ohhh
In the snow
You don’t have to go running, running off
Don’t go running off
Don't go running, running off into the snow

Don't go running, running off into the snow
