Here's a song I love a whole lot. Changed my life almost, you might say. It's by Boston.

What does it take to be a man?
What does it take to see it's all heart and soul, a gentle hand?
So easy to want, and so hard to give
How can you be a man 'til you see beyond the life you live?
Oh, what does it take to be a man?

We can be blind, but a man tries to see
It takes tenderness for a man to be what he can be
And what does it mean if you're weak or strong?
A gentle feelin' can make it right or make it wrong
What does it take to be a man?

The will to give and not receive
The strength to say what you believe
The heart to feel what others feel inside
To see what they can see

A man is somethin' that's real
It's not what you are, it's what you can feel
It can't be too late to look through the hate and see
I know that's what a man can be

That 'gentle feeling' is lovely, Mbo- but I think a lot of boys still seem to have it knocked out of them, unfortunately

I never was much of a Boston fan but the lyric is wonderful,I don't remember ever having heard the song. --Biskit-
