If I made a list
Of every shot I ever missed
Of every word I wish I didn't say
We'd be here all night and day

If you asked me how
I’m feeling here and now
If answered honestly
Things ain’t been so hot for me

I’ll spare details
show me one who never tries
And I’ll show you one who never fails
But still I know
I may have my ups and downs
No matter how it goes

I am a man, I am a man
I am a man,
I am a man, I am a man
I am a man, I am a man

v2
It’s so easy
To be my own worst enemy
Tell myself I’m not enough
I just ain’t got the stuff

I’ve killed myself constantly
For the Myth of Masculinity
As if by punishing myself  
I could ever be someone else

I know it’s true
the ones who stomp the loudest
Are the ones with all the work to do
A sad disguise
If I don't fit the image
I will not apologize

I am a man, I am a man
I am a man,
I am a man and that’s a given
I am a man no matter what
I am a man as long as I’m living
I am a man, I am a man

I cast No stone
To Each His Own


if I lose my business lose my home lose my balance lose control

feel unloving feel unsure feel unworthy feel impure
if I cannot stand if I cannot read if I cannot talk If i cannot see

if I lose my woman if I lose my man if I lose my children
I am a man

if I can’t get hired if I can’t be seen if I can’t get it up if I can’t get clean

when I say I’m sorry when I say I’m right when I lose my passion when I refuse to fight

when I play the numbers when I play the fool if I lose my meaning when I lose my cool

if I lose my faith if I lose my mind if I’ve been berated if I’ve been confined

When I’m depressed When I can’t save face When I feel stupid if I lose the race

I am a man
