To Be a Man Lyrics
[Verse 1]
What does it take to be a man?
What does it take to see
It's all heart and soul
A gentle hand?
So easy to want and so hard to give
How can you be a man
Until you see beyond the life you live?
Oh, what does it take to be a man?
[Verse 2]
We can be blind, but a man tries to see
It takes tenderness
For a man to be what he can be
And what does it mean
If you're weak or strong?
A gentle feeling
Can make it right or make it wrong
What does it take to be a man?
[Bridge]
The will to give and not receive
The strength to say what you believe
The heart to feel what others feel inside
To see what they can see
[Guitar Solo]
[Outro]
A man is something that's real
It's not what you are
It's what you can feel
It can't be too late
To look through the hate and see
I know that's what a man can be
