lyrics

What makes a man
Is it the way that he walks
Or the way that he talks

What makes a man
Is it the rough of his skin
Or the names of his kin

What makes a man
Is it the places that he chooses
The people he looses

What makes a man
Is it the lands that he’s roamed
Or the ground he calls home

What makes a man
Is it the pain he’s brought on
And the ones that he’s wronged

What makes a man
Is it the secrets he keeps
And the shouts in his sleep

What makes a man
Is it the harm that he’s done
Or the battles he’s won

What makes a man
Is it the choices he makes
Or the vows that he breaks

A man is more than the sum of his parts
It’s the story that he lives that truly sets him apart
A man is more than a pillar of bones
More than what rests six feet underneath a pile of stones

What makes a man
Is it the pages he read
Or the songs in his head

What makes a man
Is it the laws he obeys
Or the way that he prays

What makes a man
Is it the way that he cries
Or the way he defies

What makes a man
Is it his measure of fame
Or the sound of his name:
Jerome
