Men of the World

Men of the world

Men of the world, we implore you
Please speak up, we adore you
You are our partners, you are our friends
You are colleagues and parental beings

You do so much, you have stress too
You need to ask for help, 'cos we're here for you
We won't let you down, or let you fall
We'll be there like when you guard our walls

You don't always have to be a macho guy
You don't have to have answers every time
It's okay not to know it all
It's alright to feel weak and fearful

No one has it together all the time
Everyone has doubts, tears and strife
There is grief and loss, and bitterness
There is sadness and hopelessness

But through it all, the world will turn
The sun will shine and hope will burn
Strong like a phoenix rising from the ashes
Pure like light from stars in the galaxies 

For you have a choice every single day 
To live a life of love and light and grace
To remember that you matter to us all
For without you, all nations would mourn
