What Men Do

I never felt as though my gender offered an advantage or that my race offered a place ahead of any other, 
I felt as though I must compete with anyone who challenged and that it was unlikely I would be the best on offer, 
I always felt it was the man who had to work much harder to supply the family needs that see it growing larger 
I always knew the woman in my life was mine to flatter and treat her to the finer things so she knows that she matters 
As the man I stand alone whenever there is danger protect my family with my life as dying is my honour 
and for this I only wish my family have it better in happy health so I myself can die with them much stronger 

So if this is a man’s world it’s a man’s sacrifice 
giving what is never given so others will survive 
women get the recognition I wonder if it’s nice 
in a man’s world it’s a man’s will and duty to provide
