Jay Kuo - What Makes a Man lyrics

[SAM] It's time we took action And found a way out of this place I'll set an example Help others to see beyond race [SAM] And though my face resembles Our enemies in war I am still American Nothing less and nothing more! [SAM] I'll never be a scholar Much as Pop wants me to be And I'm not some nameless body in a crowd [SAM] If Pop would only see The soldier I could be I'll finally find a way To make him proud I'll finally find a way To make me proud! [SAM] What makes a man Is his dignity When he stands for what is right What makes a man Is his loyalty When he fights his nation's fight What makes a man Is what he makes of himself When he's giving it all he can! [SAM] For all our sakes I'll do what it takes I must be my own man
