[Verse 1]

Well, it's hard to speak when you're tongue-tied

Tough to breathe when you're going under

Bury deep those emotions

Down the rivers, they're overflowin'

What's the cause to this stigma?

Our brothers and fathers, uncles and partners

We teach our boys to be big men

Not how to cope with this illness

[Pre-Chorus]

Well, sticks and stones, they may break your bones

But a couple words, they could save you

And it's okay, man, the world has changed

And I know it's hard tryna fake it

[Chorus]

'Cause I wish I could be stronger

For that, I feel ashamed

'Cause those feelings, they get bottled up

As I down another can

And I guess I'm like my father

Bear the burden now I know

That it's the men who talk about it

They're the ones who make it home (Home, home)

They're the ones who make it home

Home, home (Home, home)

[Verse 2]

What's the cause to this stigma?

People scared to reach out like they don't know how

Some afraid to be a burden

They keep it locked beneath the surface

[Pre-Chorus]

But I see the progress every day, man

Promise things are gonna change

And, it's okay, man, I feel your pain

And I know it's hard tryna fake it

[Chorus]

Well, I wish I could be stronger

For that, I feel ashamed

'Cause those feelings, they get bottled up

As I down another can

And I guess I'm like my father

Bear the burden now I know

That it's the men who talk about it

They're the ones who make it home (Home, home)

They're the ones who make it home

(Home, home, home)

[Outro]

They're the ones who make it home

(Home, home, home, home, home, home, home)

They're the ones who make it home

(Home, home, home, home, home, home, home)

They're the ones who make it home
