Mighty One

It doesn’t take man for a man to cry
And it doesn’t break a man when a man cries
But to laugh at his troubles and look them in the eye
Takes a mighty man.

It doesn’t take much woman for a woman to cry
And it doesn’t break a woman when a woman cries
But to laugh at her troubles and look them in the eye
Takes a mighty woman.

Now a child may be weak and a child may be strong
But what the child sees they remember for so long
They learn by example – they imitate their heroes on TV
But the hero could be you and the hero could be me.

You can take a child and you can make him cry
But you can never make a child by making him cry
When a child laughs at trouble and looks it in the eye
There’s a mighty one.

Now a child can grow big and a child can grow strong
But what his eyes have seen is remembered for so long
They learn by example – they imitate their heroes on TV
But the hero could be you and the hero could be me.

You can take a child and you can make him cry
But you can never make a child by making him cry
When a child laughs at trouble and looks it in the eye
There’s a mighty one.
There’s a mighty one.
There’s a mighty one.
