It takes..

Sometimes it takes a man to fall

to know the struggles through it all 

to find out where it is he will stand.

It takes many fallen tears to cry

to know that he can still remain strong

to know he can make right the wrong

and know he is not alone here.

Pain it can teach what one don't understand

that the dreams are never gone

and you have to learn to be still

if you want  to keep on moving on.

Sometimes it takes a man inside to die 

to feel a heart beat made of stone

to know that his soul is real and alive.
