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