To Be a Man Lyrics

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

'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' 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
