What Makes a Man Lyrics

I went for a run today

When I was breathin' heavy

I stopped and asked myself,

"What makes a man?"

Never really felt that way

Never really felt quite ready

Never really asked for help

Will I ever understand?

Am I brave enough

To make the world a better place?

Am I kind enough

To myself when I make a mistake?

Am I honest when

I'm hurt and feelin' weak?

Am I patient for a future

Only I can see?

When we were in elementary school

My brother looked out for me

Always stood up to the bigger guys

Already a man

I was always actin' a fool

I was always causin' a scene

I was always terrified

Will I ever understand?

Am I brave enough

To make the world a better place?

Am I kind enough

To myself when I make a mistake?

Am I honest when

I'm hurt and feelin' weak?

Am I patient for a future

Only I can see?
