- Listen to the official audio for Ben Rector’s song “What Makes A Man” with @thomasrhettmusic
“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 his 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

Ben's songs are not just catchy melodies with words, they are profound words in beautiful melodies.
Totally agree. It's like a beautiful storybook
Yes!
You sound like a high school freshman trying to impress his English teacher.

Ben - You've hit the point where you're asking THE questions, about life and love and what it means to be "successful" in these times. Like George Carlin, and others who have come before...you reach a point where you're asking deep and pointedly important questions...but nobody answers your questions because they are THE questions. Love your music. Looking forward to the next 20 years of music.
Ben, I love all the songs you’ve been putting out. I’m only a couple years younger than you with a young daughter. All these songs give words to how I’m feeling.
Love your videos about being a Father. My wife made me a father's day video with my son to "a love like this" (I think that's what it's called).
My daughter is 2 years old and every morning she asks "play daughter now" and I put it on and we slow dance. I'm pretty sure that will be our daddy daughter dance when she gets married.
Thanks for creating these songs about being a Father. I love them
This is a great comment. My daughter's almost 14 and we have songs and memories we cherish like this. Hold on tight to her, she'll be 5'4" before you know it. Having a daughter is the best though. We just saw Natalie Merchant last weekend in Milwaukee, my wife and me and daughter and 16-year-old son. My wife and I had seen her in 2002 and it was a pretty profound experience taking our kids to it this time, and hard to comprehend so much time had passed between those concerts. For me personally, nothing connects people like music can so it's been incredibly important that I can share important music with my kids. Enjoy raising your daughter - you sound like you're doing it right.
Real men still hit thier knees to God's Holy sovereignty. They stand for what they truly believe and live love passionately.
In Jesus's Name Amen ✝️
Listened to it three times:
1st: to appreciate the melody, tune, and vocal style
2nd: to understand and reflect on the lyrics
3rd: to play on repeat whenever possible 💜
And, as has become tradition when a new Ben Rector song drops, I'm replaying immediately
My husband just added this to our morning play list. So relatable and heart warming. Really thought-provoking as to what really is important in our life. Thank you for such a beautiful contribution.
When someone can find this much beauty, in something this simple, it can move a man to tears. This is what songwriting is truly about. Brilliant.....
Thanks for me being alive to listen this beautiful song.
Am big fan from Zambia 🇿🇲i really love you music❤️🎶👂
The second stanza just really hits me hard. That is the exact fear that I (and many men I know) daily struggle with. You hit it on the head.
Tears in my eyes typing this. Right there with you, Clint.
💃🏽🕺
First saw you visit my college back in 2010, then with Needtobreathe in 2011 (or 2012) - thanks for all the years of amazing music.
How cool. I love needtobreathe.
I'm happy for Ben. I have long been a fan of his music since the days he was on the October Baby soundtrack.
In terms of songwriting, I am growing in increasing favor of Ben being the Carole King of his generation.
- Consistent songs that resonate with life,
- Consistent melodic tunes and structure,
- Consistent connection with fans and shows that are unforgettable.
The pictures he paints with words is remarkable 🙏❤️🔥
Had me in tears brotha. This song really hit me where I needed it Ben. Thanks for this. Beautiful song.
Thank you! ♥️
Another amazing hit, and I absolutely love how profound the lyrics are. Need to find a time to sit down and listen to it with my dad.
Beautiful song and touching sentiment.
You are a gem to this generation Ben!
Thank you for your music!
Thank you 💝 for such a great song.
I Love your music
*God bless!*
So good
Love it waited and waited to hear this.
Wow these lyrics cut deep! Another masterpiece!
One, two, four
Well my father, he'll never see his name in lights
Worked at a desk his whole damn life
Didn't chase his dreams
Gave himself so me and my sisters would be alright
Sometimes I wonder, they'll say of me when I am gone
When my daughters livin' on, yeah
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?
Chasin' down some dream you've been imaginin'
Or is it making peace with who you are and where you stand?
I'm trying to find what makes a man
Woah
What makes a man
If I'm honest, I'm plagued by the fear that I'm not enough, yeah
So I work hard to measure up
I've run a million miles, climbed a mountain high
And felt the same when I was done
Is it the things you've done, the places that you've been?
Or chasin' down some dream you've been imaginin'
Or is it making peace with who you are and where you stand?
Oh, 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 in finding peace in what you had all along?
Is it the things you've done, the places that you've been?
Chasin' down some dream you've been imaginin'
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

Another amazing song. I love the extra dimension Thomas Rhett bring to the song. Well done♥️♥️♥️
Just taking some time out to extend my love and appreciation for your constant likes and comments and my works.
Just ... wow. This song just hits a spot within me that I didn't know was there! Reminds me of my husband and his constant worry that he isn't doing a good enough job as a husband and father...when he is just the absolute best man! ❤❤❤
Just taking some time out to extend my love and appreciation for your constant likes and comments and my works.
Ben, can you stop me making me cry with every song?
(Please, don't)
That's a Ben Rector song I know. Just checked, is releasing for sale tomorrow....can't wait.
❤️🤠🇿🇦🔊👌
Just dis covered this artist because of the comercial. Why does every song I've heard so far make me🥺
Are there any video of Ben and Thomas Rhett performing this together? Can’t seem to find any.
There's a handful of songs in my life that are so touching and profound that i'm just so thankful they were written. This is one of them.
Ben, this made me tear up. Thanks for giving us music that we want to be able to relate to. Love. This. Song.
What a incredible vibe and message, Nice job buddy.
Wow makes me cry, my dad was such a good man ❤️ Men are amazing and I'm thankful everyday for men who don't ever give up
Just taking some time out to extend my love and appreciation for your constant likes and comments and my works.
Another amazing song!
Love it, your songs always makes me happy
Sometimes it's hard to encapsulate the feeling and love you have for your father while also trying to express your concerns of your own faults and fallies without insulting the former. You guys nailed it.
Just discovered Ben; had no idea I'd been so deprived!
Seems to me that he's Billy Joel 2.0 - a Master Song Craftsman
What a great song.
Just taking some time out to extend my love and appreciation for your constant likes and comments and my works.
Thanks for this beautiful song Ben!
Jesus Ben you’ve done it again. I love every single one of your songs. Please continue your journey ‘cause you’re absolutely killing it!
Why use the name of Jesus to make a compliment?
Fantastic tune, been a fan of hearing on the first listen, the lyrics are meaningful and interesting
Ben : very moving song! I really enjoy your music! A father of 10 ! Jimmy/ Pops !

The world needs more songwriters like Ben Rector!!!
What if it (what makes a human) is neither but both and everything in between and the hard part is to strike a balance that fits your life resp. the individual situation you are in. That is perchance not easy to package in catchy lyrics or a clear recipe but maybe worth reflecting on. Great music though and I appreciate the honest words.
There's nothing to it.......just good music
