What makes a man?

What makes a man?
is it money?
is it fame?
is it how well you play the game?
What makes a man?
as I ponder late at night
Is it admitting when he's wrong?
or always being right?
What makes a man?
is it the heart of lion?
or the mane of one?
looks do seem to matter a ton

What makes a man?
I say as I pound my wall
is it aggression or is it anger?
or simply knowing what do when you're in danger
What makes a man?
My father used to say
a boy good in heart
because I raised him that way
What makes a man?
well if the media had it their way
he'd be 6”5'
with enough charm to last a day

What makes a man?
or makes me your man is what I should say
because I have been doing a lot of thinking
which has led to excess drinking
What makes a man?
is it at the bottom of this glass?
Will another shot do me justice
will I get a shot to impress?
What makes a man?
oh who cares what I believe
there is only one answer true as true
and I can only find it
by asking you
