Lyrics: Be A Man

his daddy told him when he was five
real men don’t cry
the whole world sold him this pack of lies
teal men don’t cry
so his tender heart turns colder
as the days turn into years
he’s erasing all the traces of his tears

he wants to be a man
he wants to be strong
but it’s hard to know exactly what to do
‘cause he can’t be the man
he’s meant to be
till he can be a man
who finds himself in you

his building walls and their ten feet high
real men don’t cry
as deep within him his spirit dies
real men don’t cry
oh, embrace him man of sorrows
show him what a man can be
till there’s nothing left to prove and he is free

he wants to be a man
he wants to be strong
but it’s hard to know exactly what to do
cause he can’t be the man
he’s meant to be
till he can be a man
who finds himself in you
