What Makes a Man?
Understanding what it means to be a man
Full of worry: full of doubt
Never knowing where my treasure lies
Until I open my heart & my eyes
To the reality of the chaos inside
A war is brewing deep within
We cannot run: we cannot hide
To be a man is to stand your ground
To die for a friend
Bravery is lost
Muddied down by misconceptions
Of today's modern world
Bravery comes when every doubt is silenced
Bravery is standing tall, when all cower in fear
Demanding justice to be done
To bring about solace: to bring about change.
