River Meets Sea - A Real Man Lyrics

What does it mean to be a man
What he can't do or what he can
Is it the strength left in his arms
Or is it the kindness in his heart
Is it his hope to see the sun
When his whole world has come undone
And keep looking up from the floor

Hold on, lean on, those who you trust
Don't dwell on the past move on leave fast

What does it mean to be a man
What he can't do or what he can
Is it the love of his own voice
Or is it his strength to make a choice
Not to hear with just one ear
And not for kings and not through fear
But for the ones he holds dear

Hold on, lean on, those who you trust
Don't dwell on the past move on leave fast

And when the bell starts to ring
Round all the earth
You will then forever sing

What does it mean to be a man
What he can't do or what he can
Is it the youth left in his face
Is it the money that he chased
Or is it his patience with the ones
Who swear to love yet show him hate
Yet not let hate overcome

Hold on, lean on, those who you trust
Don't dwell on the past move on leave fast

What does it mean to be a man?
What he can't do or what he can?
I have never truly known
That's why I have never really shown
What is going on inside
What is written on my mind
I don't know half the time
