Don't take no crap from no one
I feel with my heart
And my world's something you can't see
Be a real man, now be a real man
But the vision shines on and on
Hear with my heart
You can laugh at me now
Be a real man, real man
You can find it in the hole where I keep my soul
Suffer them slings and arrows
And my mind knows what it wants
Got to grow up sometime
When that day finally comes along
I didn't know better, better
But it's still very real to me
But my body just drags me down
It will shine when we all are gone
Light it up, way down inside me
Some men's world is only hate and money
Old as a man
You might wish you'd been a little more strong
I look like a man
And I should know better, better
Get your trip together
But the time comes to everybody
Then you must decide
'Fraid of everything and they laugh at nothing
There it is, way down inside me
There's a real man, a real man
Cryin', "Oh my God"
Forget about bad feelings and be a real man
There's a real man, a real man
Forget about my body and be a real man
It's a real man, a real man
And they all believe to criticize
And some so called friends put me down
I spoke as a child
But now I'm a man
Got my head in the sky
Bad emotions push me around
Sometimes it works better, better
And I'd like to add a little sparkle while I'm here
Be a real man, be a real man
Then you'll wake up in the morning
Don't sell yourself for nothing
Be a real man, be a real man
I see with my heart
And they pity me for trying
There it is, way down inside me
