What does it take to be a man?

What does it take to see

 Its all heart and soul

 A gentle hand?

So easy to want and so hard to give

How can you be a man

 till you see beyond the life you live?

Oh, what does it take to be a man?

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 feelin

 Can make it right or make it wrong

What does it take to be a man?

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

A man is somethin thats real

Its not what you are

Its what you can feel

It cant be too late

To look through the hate and see

I know thats what a man can be
