about

Imagine the floor show number in a 40's musical. Not so much Carmen Miranda, as more Danny Kaye. Frankly, I wrote this song more for comedic performance purposes, so what it's doing on this record is beyond me.

lyrics

What makes a man
Is it in his heart
What makes a man
Beyond an acted part
His moment on the stage
Has it no bearing on the play
What makes a man
Another link
In a chain of fools
Too taunt to think
If his life no longer fits
Does the man fall to bits
What makes a man
Just his day to day
But as darkness falls
Does he fade away
A man has needs
A man must strive
To do more
Than just survive
A man seeks to leave his mark
To lift his light above the dark
What makes a man
Not just a joke
Comic relief
Some author’s quote
What writes his lines
What makes his mind
What fills his mouth
With rhymes and lines
