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 honeybee, 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 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
