The Making of a Man

I wish I had the power to change the way you feel.

I know it must sound crazy because I know I never will.

But if I could, for just one day I'd tear your world apart,

then put it back together and God knows where I'd start.

I'd take the evil from your eyes, the numbness from your arms.

I'd leave you still your normal size, but add a little charm.

I'd fill your heart with extra love and extra kindness too.

I take all bad thoughts from your mind, at last I'm almost through.

While I am rearranging, I'll throw an extra in -

I'll leave out all the 'little boy' and make you more a man.
