I WAS BORN
SINCE THEN I'VE DONE THE BEST I COULD
BURNED AND TORN
I MADE IT THRU TO BE A MAN
I GO THRU LIFE
WITH MY CONSCIENCE AS MY GUIDE
I TOUCH THE EARTH
I NEVER RUN I ALWAYS TRY

WORD UP MY FRIEND
WORD TO THE WISE
TO BE A MAN
IS TO BE A WOMAN IN DISGUISE
TO BE A MAN
IS TO BE A WOMAN IN DISGUISE

CRY SOME TEARS
AND HOLD A CHILD IN YOUR ARMS
FACE YOUR FEARS
AND THROW AWAY YOUR LUCKY CHARMS
TELL THE TRUTH
AND TAKE THE HIGH ROAD WHEN YOU CAN
FALL IN LOVE
THATS WHAT IT TAKES TO BE A MAN
