From Bahanapana days, playin' in the ways
I couldn't help but be happy
Come to middle school, trying to be cool
Struggling to find my identity
From the first day of getting my guitar
I never thought I'd come this far
Graduation yes it came so fast
I never thought it pass
Yeah...
I can't remember all the steps I took
But all I know is that they let me here to look at them and smile, yeah...
If it wasn't for my past discretion
Who is to see that I could be the man that I am today
The man I am
Summers in Kauai,
Surfing in July,
Every jam sesh help me to be
Grateful for today, and excited for tomorrow
Every wave helped me to see
That this couldn't have been just a coincidence
That I so happened to be on this side of the fence
I think it had to be the choices I made
So that I'd never fade
Yeah...
I can't remember all the steps I took
But all I know is that they led me here to look at them and smile, yeah...
And if it wasn't for my past discretion
Who is to say that I would be the man that I am today
The man I am
The man I am
With every wave that I've caught
Helped my train of thought
Every song that I sing helps me see
That every obstacle I face, I can erase
'Cause it led me to the place I wanna be
This is the man that I am
And this is the man that I wanna be
The man I am...
