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