When you know it’s untrue but you won’t speak up
When you’ve got one more chance but you just gave up
When you hold back the fear and it’s warning you
Would you believe a sign if it came to you
Gotta be a man of faith
Gotta be a man of love
Gotta be a man that’s great
You gotta be a man boy
When you rattle your brain for a decent thought
When you know you should change but your minds made up
When you follow the rules of a chosen few
Will you still go along when they turn on you
Gotta be a man of faith
Gotta be a man of love
Gotta be a man that’s great
You gotta be a man boy
Gotta be a man of war
Gotta be a man they’ll hate
You gotta be a man boy
Tell me what will you say when you finally know
Try to push it away but you can’t let go
Would you take it all back if you thought you could
Would you still want a war when it’s your own blood?
Gotta be a man of faith
Gotta be a man of love
Gotta be a man that’s great
You gotta be a man boy
Gotta be a man of war
Gotta be a man they’ll hate
You gotta be a man boy
