What Makes a Man a Man
What makes a man, a man
Is it the sound of his roar
How fierce he stands in the
sight of danger?
How ready and willing he is
when war beckons
Or how fearless he is
At the sight of death.
What makes a man,a man
Is it how long his stick can hold
at pleasures thirst?
Or how he hungers for a
woman 's touch
Is it his quest for adventures
The longing to bear a son
Or how well he takes care of his
woman's needs,
Rubbing endless smiles upon
her face.
What makes a man, a man
Is it how gallant he walks
Or the mountain of food
His stomach can bear?
Is it how he grieves
Not succumbing to despair and
fear
Or how he stands by his faith
and belief.
What really makes a man,a man
Is it the amount of liquor
His head can carry
Or the pains he has seen?
Is it the name he bears
Or the lands he owns
Is it the love in his heart?
How willing he can lay his life
for another.
What makes a man,a man?
Tell me,so that i can be a better
man.
