Man Up Lyrics

Have you noticed how the world perceives a man

The standards it lays down on how it understands

Isn't it funny how we ascribe the testosterone

To the beard and the ab and the smell of cologne

How a six-figure sum defines success

And the body to die for is on the centerspread

To hold the credits of the women one has chased

Profanity and jargon, latest gadget upgrade

Have you noticed, how the world attributes

The qualities of manhood to those who abuse

Authority and power, money and might

Conveniently chivalrous, selectively polite

Man Up!

Well, to be a man is to acknowledge your fears

How to overcome your weaknesses and persevere

In holiness, in discipline and self-control

What's the point in gaining the world if you lose your own soul

Choose your words wise, fight the good fight

Always say the truth even if it costs your life

Value and respect life in all its forms

Regardless of gender, age, born or unborn

Believe in life, have the courage to act

Whenever the dignity of life is attacked

Discover your calling, and passionately

Serve at the Altar, or raise a Family

Man Up!

Don't need to perfect, O brother understand

What the maker wanted was not a superman

Don't have to be a hero, don't have to be strong

You can kill all your giants with a sling and a stone

Man up

(The Holy Spirit be your guide)

(Stop being the stereotype)
