Man with the bleak façade,
face time with a brave face.
Don't be a sea nor a river
or be either or nothing at all.
Man of an average stature,
give hope to your life.
You're no better off going in a hurry
to walk the distance,
to walk the distance.
Man, if that's what you claim to be,
don't disrupt your progress
or you'll make this life your grave
and in that grave you'll dwell.
If you possess a rose
then you must look at its thorns,
and if you don't know pain
then you won't know happiness.
Man, don't beg the Lord
to give you a house,
better yet, thank him
that you have a life and a job.
What good is your voice for?
what's the point of words?
when you're frightened at the slightest
movement of rough waves,
movement of rough waves.
Man, if that's what you claim to be,
don't disrupt your progress
or you'll make this life your grave
and in that grave you'll dwell.
If you possess a rose
then you must look at its thorns,
and if you don't know pain
then you won't know happiness.
You're no more of a man by appearance
than you are by shouting the loudest and being frightening,
you're a man by carry the truth in your voice
and in your words.
Not even if you have the most women,
not even if you drink the most and can endure it,
you're a man when you have a single woman
and can quench your thirst,
and can quench your thirst.
Man, if that's what you claim to be,
don't disrupt your progress
or you'll make this life your grave
and in that grave you'll dwell.
If you possess a rose
then you must look at its thorns,
and if you don't know pain
then you won't know happiness.
