Men

What defines man?
The talk on his tongue and the works of his hands
What defines man?
The will of his heart and the thoughts in his head

My son, I still hear every gentle word he spoke
He always meant what he said
That’s just how he led
I remember the callous on his hands
The sweat that poured from his brow
All to build a house

Every motive, every treasure he desired
Everlasting, beyond space and time
He made himself low
In all his thinking, he kept his conscience clean
He took control of every threat unseen
With each thought that he sowed

What defines man?
The talk on his tongue and the works of his hands
What defines man?
The will of his heart and the thoughts in his head
My son, listen to the words you’ve heard me say
Be a body of blessing, bear the weight of the choices you make
Seek justice, be merciful, be kind
Chase down every virtue that you find
Be a man without regret
Don’t speak with a smooth and velvet tongue
Take every correction while you’re young
Tell the truth, don’t you forget

What defines man
The talk on his tongue and the works of his hands
What defines man
The will of his heart and the thoughts in his head
What defines man?
It is the talk on his tongue and the works of his hands
What defines man?
It is the will of his heart and the thoughts in his head
