Lyrics:
Do you ever get scared
Do you ever get sad 
Did you forget the childhood dreams that you had 
Hoped it’d be better but things turned out bad and all went wrong

You don’t have to climb mountains or walk on the moon 
To fill up your heart like a great big balloon 
If you can't sleep at night just remember this tune 
and sing along 

Dream on 
Dream on 
Even when you’re afraid all your dreams may be gone
Just dream on 
Dream on
When the world says you’re crazy just tell them they’re wrong and dream on 

When I was younger I played make believe
Now when I close my eyes I just fall asleep 
If you live long enough life will make you believe that they're gone 

Dream on 
Dream on 
Even when you’re afraid all your dreams may be gone
Just dream on 
Dream on
When the world says you’re crazy just tell them they’re wrong and dream on 

Dream on 
Dream on 
To infinity and far beyond
Maybe they’ll take you fabulous places 
Maybe you’ll wake up right where you belong

Dream on 
Dream on 
Even when you’re afraid all your dreams may be gone
Just dream on 
Dream on
When the world says you’re crazy just tell them they’re wrong   
When the world says you’re crazy just tell them they’re wrong and dream on

Lyrics:

I miss when I had superpowers
My imagination was my friend and it ran wild and free
I could waste a couple hours
Without a worry in the world staring at stars out on my trampoline, yeah 
 
I miss when Andy McAuthur was the fastest kid there was and kid there was ever gonna be 
Ken Griffey Jr. was a giant before parents got divorced and I learned that there was gravity 
 
I miss my old heroes
I had to give them all away 
I miss my old heroes yeah yeah
God I wish they could’ve stayed
Cause it turns out that the hardest part of growing up's not getting old
It's learning how the real world goes
I miss my old
I miss my old 
 
I miss my Bible study leader
Had all the answers for living in the big bad world 
Don’t know if he still talks to Jesus 
But his wife's remarried now and I think he sells garage doors  
 
I miss when I thought chasing dreams was 
Holy magic behind curtains in a sacred place
Before it was managers and lawyers 
Who colored up and cashed them out 
For vacation homes in coastal states 
 
I miss my old heroes
I had to give them all away 
I miss my old heroes yeah yeah 
God I wish they could’ve stayed
Cause it turns out that the hardest part of growing up’s not getting old
It's learning how the real world goes
I miss my old
I miss my old 
I miss my old heroes
 
I miss my old heroes
 
I miss back when the world was small and we had all the answers
I miss how it was when we were young 
I miss back before I understood all the ways that life would break your heart 
Before I knew that's what they called growing up 
 
I miss my old heroes
I had to give them all away 
I miss my old heroes yeah yeah 
God I wish they could’ve stayed
Cause it turns out that the hardest part of growing up’s not just getting old
It's learning how the real world goes
I miss my old
I miss my old 
I miss my old heroes 
I miss my old heroes

Listen to the official audio for Ben Rector’s song “What Makes A Man” with Thomas Rhett.

“I immediately thought of Thomas Rhett when ‘What Makes A Man’ was finished. A big part of this record for me was wanting to do things that were exciting and enjoyable, and having Thomas on this song felt like both.

I’m honored he agreed to sing on it and I hope you enjoy it as much as I do. Stay tuned for a deluxe version of ‘The Joy of Music’ (including this song), later this year.”

Lyrics:

Well my father 
He'll never see him name in lights 
Worked at a desk his whole damn life
Didn’t chase his dream gave himself 
So me and my sisters would be all right 

Sometimes I wonder
What they'll say of me when I am gone 
When my daughter’s living on and
Will she care if strangers thought that I was famous
Or just that I was never home

Is it the things you’ve done the places that you've been 
Chasing down some dream you’ve been imagining
Or is it making peace with who you are and where you stand 
I’m trying to find what makes a man 
Woah oh what makes a man 

If I'm honest 
I am plagued by the fear that I am not enough 
So I work hard to measure up 
Spent a million miles under mountains high
And felt the same when I was done

Is it the things you’ve done the places that you've been 
Chasing down some dream you’ve been imagining
Or is it making peace with who you are and where you stand 
I’m trying to find what makes a man 

Is it power 
Is it fame
Is it money 
Is it just a game 
Is it always wanting more 
Or is it finding peace in what you had all along 

Is it the things you’ve done the places that you've been 
Chasing down some dream you’ve been imagining
Or is it making peace with who you are and where you stand 
I'm trying to find what makes a man 

I've been trying to find 
What makes a man 
I've been trying to find 
What makes a man 

What makes a man 
I've been trying to find 
What makes a man

What Makes A Man with Thomas Rhett
