BE A MAN,
THEY SAY.
Be a man, they say. All through the years, At each turn in the road, I've remembered.
Get on that train, they say To basic training far away. Don't shirk your duty, Be a man.
Don't
let him talk to you that way, Clench you fist and enter the fray, Don't turn away, Be a man.
The winners
been selected, And it wasn't you, But don't let rejection discourage, Get right back up start all over again,
Be a man.
I hate to tell you this, But the disease will win in the end, Show us all how courageous
you can be, Be a man.
I've remembered, But would I be less a man, If only I could cry?
