 I have my thoughts to position

But do I know how to act?

I have no silent ambitions

But does that make me a man

 Until I learn all I can

And mean all I understand

 [B7#5] As a way of giving

 I'm a piece of the earth

 I take no offence

 I can be who I am

 I have no pretence

 Only to what you can be

If you want to be

 [B7#5] It's a way of living [B7#5] [B7#5]

 I've got a pen in my pocket does that make me a writer

Standing on the mountain doesn't make me no higher

Putting on gloves don't make you a fighter

 And all the study in the world

Doesn't [B7#5]make it science

Yeah.

So grab a piece in the air

Try an' make it sing

Try and be who you can

It's the real, real thing

I'm into what you can be

If you want to be

As a way of living

I've got a pick in my pocket does that make me a player

Words can't do - what action does louder

Putting on gloves doesn't make me a fighter

And all the study in the world doesn't make it science

(guitar solo) [B7#5] [B7#5]

I've got a pick in my pocket does that make me a player

Words can't do - what action does louder

Putting on gloves doesn't make me a fighter

And all the study in the world doesn't make it science

I've got a pen in my pocket does that make me a writer

Standing on the mountain doesn't make me no higher

Putting on gloves don't make you a fighter

And all the study in the world

Doesn't make it science
