         D
Oh, the power to be strong
        Bm
And the wisdom to be wise
G
All these things will
                A
Come to you in time

         G                   D
On this journey that you're making
            A                   Bm
There'll be answers that you'll seek
          G                    D
And it's you who'll climb the mountain
      A                    Bm
It's you who'll reach the peak

Chorus:
 G                D       A
Son of man, look to the sky
 G                 D       A
Lift your spirit, set it free
 G                    D          A
Some day you'll walk tall with pride
 G             D      A           D
Son of man, a man in time you'll be

                G               D
Though there's no one there to guide you
   A                 Bm
No one to take your hand
          G                D
But with faith and understanding
          A                   Bm
You will journey from boy to man

Chorus

     E
In learning you will teach
        C#m
And in teaching you will learn
        A
You'll find your place beside the
           B
Ones you love

        A                       E
Oh, and all the things you dreamed of
     B                C#m
The visions that you saw
           A               E
Well, the time is drawing near now
      B                 C#m
It's yours to claim in all

Chorus:
 A                E       B
Son of man, look to the sky
 A                 E       B
Lift your spirit, set it free
 A                    E          B
Some day you'll walk tall with pride
 A             E      B           E
Son of man, a man in time you'll be

C#m            A
(Ye-oh, ye-oh, ye-oh) Son of man,
B                             E
Son of man's a man for all to see
