Self Made Man Lyrics by David Haerle

Death Valley

2020

You think you’re self made
But a soldier gave
His life his to save
The freedoms that you love
You think you’re self made
Born in the US of A
Fortunate I’d say
Did you pick where you were born?
You think you’re self made
But would you ever trade
Breaks you got on the way
That got you where you are?
You think you’re self made
Well have you ever prayed
On your knees when afraid
And asked for divine help?
I believe we’ve had a hand
Maybe one hundred thousand
When your brother’s down low
Maybe you’ll think, you’ve been, more lucky than you know
You think your self made
How about MLK
Ms. Adams and Mr. Hay
Before us?
You think you’re self made
What about 8th grade
And the teacher who made
All the difference, in your life?
You think you’re self made
How ‘bout your DNA
And did you have a say
In the design of yourself?
You think you’re self made
Have it made in the shade
But there may come a day
You’ll break, and you’ll need help
I believe we’ve had a hand
Maybe one hundred thousand
When your brother’s down low
Maybe you’ll think, you’ve been, more lucky than you know
