A man can walk proudly,
Down in the street.
A man's not ashamed of what he believes.

He knows how to laugh,
He knows when to cry.
He knows it's best to live.
He's afraid to die.

What is a man,
What is a man?
What is a man,
What is a man?

A man searches,
For the key to success.
He'd rather be sure,
Than take a wild guess.

He knows how to love,
He knows how to hate.
He knows when to move.
He knows just when to wait.

What is a man,
What is a man?
What is a man,
What is a man?

A man can be angry,
& still hold his tongue
A man don't give up
Till the battle is won.

He knows how to win,
He's not ashamed to lose.
He knows his destiny
is his alone to choose

What is a man,
What is a man?
What is a man,
What is a man?
What is a man,
What is a man?
What is a man,
What is a man?
Just what is a man?
