Lyrics
Intro
La-la-la, la-la-la, oh-oh, hey
La-la-la, la-la-la, oh-oh, hey
Verse
We grew up down by Miller's gate, boots scuffed and pockets thin
He wore his father's jacket once, but it never fit him in
One spring he found a mirror, not to hide but to begin
He smiled and said, "This is me," and let the daylight in
He learned the names of the stars and learned the name of his skin
He learned that loving who he's loving wasn't any kind of sin
He laughed and cried beside a river where the willow dips and bends
Then he turned toward a hollow screen, and found a band of friends
Pre-chorus
He traded down the old expectations for a brand-new plan
Swore he'd craft his life like armor, with his own two hands
(yeah) He took a key, he opened doors, he wore his truth like a brand
Called it work, called it worship, called it making a stand
Chorus
He's a true man, true to who he is, oh-oh, hey (oh-oh, hey)
He's a true man, true to who he is, oh-oh, hey (oh-oh, hey)
Chopping yew and mining rune, reaching for a skillcape light
Lumbridge nights and Varrock dawns, he levels by the firelight
He's a true man, true to who he is, oh-oh, hey (oh-oh, hey)
He's a true man, true to who he is, oh-oh, hey
Verse
At dawn he tills the family land, at dusk he grinds and schemes
He fishes at the riverbank, then fishes in his dreams
A band of fellows in a clan house, a laugh across the net
They share their spoils and recipes and help each other set
A quest to prove his courage, a grind to reach the top
He earned a cape with patient hands, and never once would stop
Neighbors nodded, some were puzzled, some were slow to understand
But he came home with armor on and truth held in his hand
Bridge
So we'll raise a cup for the nights he stayed up late (hey)
For the friends who logged in when the world felt full of weight (oh)
For the first time he said "I'm coming out," and then he walked right through
For learning how to be himself and finding brothers true
(la-la-la) La-la-la, la-la-la, sing it once more, sing it through
Chorus
He's a true man, true to who he is, oh-oh, hey (oh-oh, hey)
He's a true man, true to who he is, oh-oh, hey (oh-oh, hey)
Chopping yew and mining rune, reaching for a skillcape light
Lumbridge nights and Varrock dawns, he levels by the firelight
He's a true man, true to who he is, oh-oh, hey (oh-oh, hey)
He's a true man, true to who he is, oh-oh, hey
Outro
La-la-la, la-la-la, oh-oh, hey
He lives his calling, plays his game, and walks his own highway
