It Takes a Lot To Know a Man

It takes a lot to know a man

It takes a lot to understand

The warrior, the sage

The little boy, enraged

It takes a lot to know a woman

A lot to understand what's humming

The honey bee, the sting

The little girl with wings

It takes a lot to give

To ask for help

To be yourself

To know and love what you live with

It takes a lot to breathe

To touch, to feel

The slow reveal

Of what another body needs

It takes a lot to know a man

A lot to know, to understand

The father and the son

The hunter and the gun

It takes a lot to know a woman

A lot to comprehend what's coming

The mother and the child

The muse and the beguiled

It takes a lot to give

To ask for help

To be yourself

To know and love what you live with

It takes a lot to breathe

To touch, to feel

The slow reveal

Of what another body needs

It takes a lot to give

To ask for help

To be yourself

To know and love what you live with

It takes a lot to breathe

To touch, to feel

The slow reveal

Of what another body needs

It takes a lot to live

To ask for help

To be yourself

To know and love what you live with

It takes a lot to breathe

To touch, to feel

The slow reveal

Of what another body needs

What are you so afraid to lose?

What is it you're thinking that will happen if you do?

What are you so afraid to lose?

What is it you're thinking that will happen if you do?

What is it you're so afraid to lose?

It takes a lot to know a man

What is it you're thinking that will happen if you do?

What is it you carry on your back?

What is it you notice when you know you can't laugh?
