What does it take to be a man?

What does it take to see
            F5
Its all heart and soul
        G5
A gentle hand?
A5                       C5        G5
So easy to want and so hard to give

How can you be a man

till you see beyond the life you live?

Oh, what does it take to be a man?

A5                      C5         G5
We can be blind, but a man tries to see
D5
It takes tenderness
       F5              G5
For a man to be what he can be
A5
And what does it mean
            C5       G5
If you're weak or strong?
D5
A gentle feelin
     F5                G5
Can make it right or make it wrong

What does it take to be a man?

The will to give and not receive
A5               D5              G5
The strength to say what you believe
G5            C5                F5
The heart to feel what others feel inside
F5                   D5
To see what they can see

B5  E5  A5

F5                                           D5
