Lyrics To Be a Man - Boston

What does it take to be a man?
What does it take to see
It′s all heart and soul
A gentle hand?
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?
We can be blind, but a man tries to see
It takes tenderness
For a man to be what he can be
And what does it mean
If you′re weak or strong?
A gentle feelin'
Can make it right or make it wrong
What does it take to be a man?
The will to give and not receive
The strength to say what you believe
The heart to feel what others feel inside
To see what they can see
A man is somethin' that′s real
It′s not what you are
It's what you can feel
It can′t be too late
To look through the hate and see
I know that's what a man can be
(Scholz)
