Without a Woman

The man is lion of this jungle
Armies to him are humble.
He runs non stop to make things run
And never let's a crawl walk until it runs.
The man runs the world
But he would keep running in circles
Without a woman or a girl.

When he wants, he wants
When he needs, he needs
Whatever it takes he is
And he never stops until he stops.
The man runs the world
But he would keep running in circles
Without a woman or a girl.

The wars in his nerves rage
So he makes rifles to pursue relief
But only in the bossom of that which blossoms
He catches relief.
The man runs the world
But he would keep running in circles
Without a woman or a girl.

The man battles nations and comes out unmarred
He goes through hardship and comes out unscarred
But one battle he never won since Adam,
The need for another.
The man runs the world
But he would keep running in circles
Without a woman or a girl.

Finally he finds education
And social elevation
But doesn't find a good thing
Until he finds a wife.
The man runs the world
But he would keep running in circles
Without a woman or a girl.
