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
