When i was a child |
|
I thought as a child |
|
I spoke as a child |
|
I didn't know better |
|
But now i'm a man |
|
I look like a man |
|
I'm old as a man |
|
And i should know better |
|
Got my head in the sky |
|
And my mind knows what it wants |
|
But my body just drags me down |
|
And my world is something you can't see |
|
But it's still very real to me |
|
You can find it in the hole where i keep my soul |
|
There it is - way down inside me |
|
There's a real man |
|
Forget about my body and be a real man |
|
I see with my heart |
|
I hear with my heart |
|
I feel with my heart |
|
Sometimes it works better |
|
And some so-called friends put me down |
|
And they pity me for trying |
|
Bad emotions push me around |
|
But the vision shines on and on |
|
It will shine when we all are gone |
|
And i'd like to add a little sparkle while i'm here |
|
Light it up - way down inside me |
|
There's a real man |
|
Forget about bad feelings and be a real man |
|
Some men's world is only hate and money |
|
Afraid of everything and they laugh at nothing |
|
And they only live to criticize |
|
You can laugh at me now [ha ha ha] |
|
But the time comes to everybody |
|
When you must decide |
|
When that day finally comes along |
|
You might wish you'd been a little more strong |
|
Then you'll wake up in the morning cryin' |
|
"oh my god" |
|
There it is - way down inside me |
|
It's a real man |
|
You got to grow up sometime |
|
Be a real man |
|
Suffer them slings and arrows |
|
Be a real man |
|
Now be a real man |
|
Don't sell yourself for nothing |
|
Be a real man |
|
Don't take no crap from no one |
|
Be a real man |
|
Get your trip together |
|
Be a real man |
