Why can't a man stand alone
Must he be burdened by all that
He's taught to consider his own
His skin and his station
His kin and his crown
His flag and his nation
They just weigh him down
You know pride is a sin
That we tend to forgive
But it gets hard to live
When you don't have the love
In her heart to begin with
Why can't a man stand alone
Why can't a woman be just
What she seems
Must she be tarnished by
Men who can only be men in their dreams
When beauty meets ignorance
They shout in the street
Repeating their offer to each girl they meet
The respect that she needs it isn't a gift
But it gets hard to lift yourself up
When you don't have the
Strength to begin with
Why can't a woman stand alone
Why can't a baby sleep at
Night and dream of the time to come
And never fear the world
Outside the touch of someone very near
Why can't a man stand up
Why can't a man stand up
Why can't a man stand alone
