His daddy told him when he was five

real men don't cry

the whole world sold him this pack of lies

real men don't cry

so his tender heart turns colder

as the days turn into years

he's crossing all the traces of his tears



He wants to be a man

he wants to be strong

but it's hard to know excatly what to do

'cause he can't be the man

he's meant to be

till he can be a man

who finds himself in you



He's building walls and their ten feet high

real men don't cry

as deep within him his spirit dies

real men don't cry

oh, embrace him man of sorrows

show him what a man can be

till theres nothing left to prove and he is free



He wants to be a man

he wants to be strong

but it's hard to know excatly what to do

cause he can't be the man

he's meant to be

till he can be a man 

who finds himself in you.
