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
