Give a man a pencil, And he will draw from his mind, Give a woman a pen, And she will write from her heart
For the essence of a manhood lies within, The height of the roof above his head As the delight of his other rib, From the warmth of the sun in a snowfall
A balance of life Once left and right, Now right and left Or simply, enjoying the centre
Who says he can't love the world? And who dictates she can't rule the universe? For a father grooms his little princess And a mother sits on a King's counsel
How did this happen? Defying the judgement of the old A foundation of social rationality, But now a house of idealism
Yes, the pursuit of something, Something that is perfect, To being complete of a kind, To feel whole in a life lived
And that, a freedom in happiness To know the past, And shine it's edges, So as to glow, in the future
