All my life you’ve made me follow,

Thoughts which were all fake and hollow…

Being a man, what all did it apply?

Now let me ask…. Please tell me Why??….

Tell my why?

I wasn’t allowed to cry?

Tell my why?

I wasn’t allowed to fly?

Tell me why?

I couldn’t follow my dream?

Well being a MAN…

Is this what you mean?

Being a man all of this I refuse,

This is not a way of life I choose…

Being a man I too can cry…

Being a man I too deserve the sky…
