Stand steadfast
Head held high
Even when you're low
Be a man

Poems of her
She feels upset
She feels she's not enough
Be a man

Don't show them
Don't tear up
Don't you hurt
Be a man

What of the nights
He stood alone
He sat and cried
Tired of being a man

You can't feel that
You can't show the pain
Work so she doesn't feel pain
What of the pain he feels

The late night thoughts
When he was tired
Tired of the pain
Fed up with the facade

He let his emotions overrun
He let the darkness in
The pain became him
But you'll never hear

Never read a poem
Or hear a song
About his pain
He has to be a man

So a man he was
Acted as instructed
Until one night
Well, at least he was a man until the end
