It's hard to be good
It's so hard to be the man I am
When I'm in dreams
Escape is a drug
A drug that I use

It's hard to walk straight
It's so hard to have the strength of
Character I need
To build up a man
A man out of me

Fear and love will change a man
Fear and love will break a man, I know
Fear and love will make a man
A man out of me
(You'll grow for every little step
Of the road you're on)
A man out of me

It's hard to be good
It's so hard to be the man
That I would like to be
To swallow the pride
To put things aside

It's hard to be kind
It's hard to smile
When all around me there is dirt
Revenge is a drug
A drug I abuse

Fear and love will change a man
Fear and love will break a man, I know
Fear and love will make a man
A man out of me
(You'll grow for every little step
Of the road you're on)
A man out of me
