Those simple things that you passed down You held them close in your past now An envelope yellow with sunlight You spread the contents neatly down upon your bedside A bed and slippered night or two A name badge from some job you used to do A lifetime spread before your eyes Kneel and you pray in a door in the sky Please tell me what son makes you more than just a man Please tell me what son makes you more than just a man Yeah, won't you tell me what son makes you more than just a man Tell me Your frame of mind ever grind to a halt? I couldn't fault You take life with a pinch of salt The noisy neighbors The mixers and the laborers Have lay down their tools For the hands of Absolom Raise an eruption [?] Smash and reduction [?] Catches your eye Sets you up for the night And you're gone floating from my sight I tell them all It give me such a fright That's no lie. That's no lie Please tell me what son makes you more than just a man Please tell me what son makes you more than just a man Yeah, won't you tell me what son makes you more than just a man Tell me what makes you more than just a man Well, tell me, tell me what makes you more than just a man Yeah, just a man Yeah, just a man Tell me what makes you more than just a man What makes you more than just a man What sets you apart from the crowd kid? What makes you more, what makes you more than just a man? Be brave or be enslaved Be brave or be enslaved Be brave or be enslaved Be brave or be enslaved What makes you more than just a man? What is your plan?
