Isn't it wrong and isn't is strange
That a man goes by the color of his face
And isn't it time we've drawn the line
And decided to become a human race, yeah

Behind that mother's eyes
What makes a man so tough
That he don't care if anybody lives or dies
Give him some love, give him some love

Night after night, I say the same prayer
And if any body's listening out there
Give it a break, it's all give and take
But the takin' and givin' isn't fair, yeah

Behind that mother's eyes
What makes a man so tough
That he don't care if anybody lives or dies
Give him some love, give him some love
It might save your life

I'm just a man who don't understand
Why is one man not just like another man
Nothing can change 'til we arrange
All of life's important fingers on one hand, yeah yeah

Behind that mother's eyes
What makes a man so tough
Yeah, then you care if anybody lives or dies
Give him some love, give him some love
It might save your life

What makes a man so tough
He don't care if anybody lives or dies
Looking behind that mother's eyes
Looking behind that mother's eyes
What makes a man so tough
