Have you noticed how the world perceives a man
The standards it lays down in how it understands
Is'nt it funny how we ascribe the testosterone
To the beard and the ab and the smell of cologne
How a six-figure sum defines success
And the body to die for is on the centerspread
To hold the credits of the women one has chased
Profanity and jargon, latest gadget upgrade
Have you noticed, how the world attributes
The qualities of manhood to those who abuse
Authority and power, money and might
Conveniently chivalrous, selectively polite
Man Up
Well, to be a man is to acknowledge your fears
How to overcome your weaknesses and persevere
In holiness, in discipline and self control
What's the point of gaining the world if you lose your own soul
Choose your words wise, Fight the good fight
Always say the truth even if it costs your life
Value and respect life in all its forms
Regardless of gender, age, born or unborn
Do you believe in life, and have the courage to act
Whenever the dignity of life is attacked
Discover your calling, and passionately
Serve at the Altar, or raise a Family
Man Up
Don't need to perfect, O brother understand
What the maker wanted was not a superman
Don't have to be a hero, don't have to be strong
You can kill all your giants with a sling and a stone
Man up
(The Holy Spirit be your guide)
(Stop being the stereotype)
