Barry Lawton - Essence

The essence of man is in the eyes of a woman
The eyes of a woman can tell you all about the man
Saviour her touch savior all she can give you
Hang on those words it just might help you understand

Can you aim higher
Can you be better
Can you be the man you know you should be
The strength of your nature
Can sustain delicate flowers
Can guide the boat to shore in the wildest of seas

The essence of man is not in fists flying
Power and control just masks how small you are
Paying for sex is just paid for entitlement
Always kicking downwards standing at but never raising the bar

The essence of man who stands bereft in his kingdom
Is the sum of his parts an island for all to see
When your walls come down who's there to rebuild them
Who's strength and patience is the calm to set you free
