A strong hand, a strong hand
So I don't fall
A strong man, a strong man
To make me feel small
His muscles chase each other up and down his forceful arm
Genetic confidence behind his magnetic calm
A strong man, a strong man
To take care of all

But if no man is an island
Then no woman is his yacht
And no man is stronger than his fear
To lose the one he loves
And if I should leave tomorrow
He would surely be destroyed
And crumble like a hopeless child
Who's lost his favourite toy
And I
Oh, I hate to see a grown man cry

There's nothing in the world he couldn't teach you about
He always puts his weight behind and shows no sign of doubts
A strong man, a strong man
A strong man, a strong man
A strong hand, a strong hand
To make me feel small

But if no man is an island
Then no woman is a bridge
And his love will take him nowhere
If he doesn't know where she is
And if I should leave tomorrow
He would surely be destroyed
And crumble like a hopeless child
Who's lost his favourite toy
And I
Oh, I hate to see a grown man cry, cry

To see a grown man cry
