WHAT DOES IT TAKE?
You
can see them in the boardrooms
Or
asleep outside your door
The
ones who were broken
And
couldn’t take any more
And
what was it took
The
strength from their stride?
What
was it broke
All
their hope and their pride?
What
does it take to break a man?
What
does it take to break something that strong?
What
does it take to break a man?
Whatever
it is it’s wrong
Was
it something that was taken?
Was
it something that was done?
Did
they lose the race
No
matter how hard they had run?
Was
it someone who pointed out
All
that they lack?
What
was the straw
That
broke somebody’s back?
What
does it take to break a man?
What
does it take to break something that strong?
What
does it take to break a man?
Whatever
it is it’s wrong
And
war will do it
Again
and again
When
faced with the cruelty
Of
their fellow men
Some
heal up, some hide
The
lines and the cracks
And
some, it just stops them
Right
in their tracks
What
does it take to break a man?
What
does it take to break something that strong?
What
does it take to break a man?
Whatever
it is it’s wrong
And
some, they fight on
They
rage through the rain
Some
use drugs and booze
To
dull the pain
And
some make music and beauty
I
marvel it still
How
they carry that rock
Up
that mighty high hill
What
does it take to break a man?
What
does it take to break something that strong?
What
does it take to break a man?
Whatever
it is it’s wrong
Whatever it is it's wrong
