The Alpha Male
Being a man,what do they see?
I see strength, aggression, power.
How about physical force?
Domination. Pain. Passion. Madness.
What is it they say on TV?
The alpha male...
It's all wrong.
I see passion. I see strength.
But what I see is family, I see love,
Oh I see pain. But only for what's lost,
Not what's inflicted. Being a man
I used to wonder what it meant.
After what they see, they say.
They say "be a man, fight" and
It's true. They say "Don't cry,
Don't be a girl." And it's true.
They say, "I thought I raised a man."
And that. Is. True.
I told you what I see.
How about what I say:
I say "Be a man, fight.
To put food on the table for your family."
I say "Don't cry, don't be a girl
Because your girl needs you
But needs you to cry when you take her as a bride."
I say, "I thought I raised a man
And I did." When my son fights for his family.
Being a man is about loving,
Fighting, directing, surviving,
But most of all, it's about appreciating
A woman.
