“I have had a really amazing opportunity to watch both my parents fall in love again. Before I play this song at shows I always have to clarify “This is not eHarmony for my mom, don’t slide in her DMs, she’s got her man,” Allie Colleen shared. “It has been such a gift to know my parents “have found their person. I also know what it is like to be a part of that love triangle of watching your mom wear her heart on her sleeve. This Mother’s Day, I want to recognize all the single moms and dads out there trying to raise their babies best they can. I am not a parent, but as a child, I can also say this one goes out to the kids, as sometimes we have to remember our parents are growing up too.”
Allie Colleen’s co-writer on “Make Me A Man,” Eric Dodd said, “This is actually the first song Allie and I wrote together, and we have probably written fifteen songs since. Allie said she had been wanting to write a song for her mom, and she just really opened up about what she would give to have the perfect man for her; this song is a prayer to God. Allie had the majority of ‘Make Me A Man’ written, so I just did my best not to mess up this beautiful story. She sings this one with so much passion, and is such a sweet gift for anyone with a single mom.”
“… God make me a man, worthy of my momma
To hold her tight when I’m not around
When she’s scared, he’ll be right beside her
Gives her faith in the love she’s needing now
God make me a man
God send me a friend
Quick to understand
Makes us laugh whenever we are hurting
Maybe a chef, a good cook at best
Her lonely table will always have a guest
Give her a reason to open her heart again
To know there’ll never be a cold side of the bed…”
