Angela Brown - To raise a man [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

It’s hard to raise a man
When he’s broken
He tries to be tough
On the outside, while
His image inside is low key
For his ability to love
For himself to get a grip
Of reality before
He shuts God out

Am I asking too much
From his heart
To let me in
Am I asking too much
From his heart
To be a man

It’s hard to raise a man
Maybe he did not have a momma
Too teach him how to cry
Or a papa to hold onto
That taught him how to fight
When things went wrong
He never knew who to blame
He sweated his tears
When the stress came
After being committed To prison
His life wasn’t the same
Did he fail the church
Or did the church fail him
In this given world
It’s hard to be a man

Am I asking too much
From his heart
To let me in
Am I asking too much
From his heart
To be a man

Why it’s so hard for men
To admit their in pain
Why do men turn away from love
Why are men afraid to love
When they need a woman
To show her affection
To need for his affection
Is more than enough
It hurts when he won’t
Let me love him
It hurts to see him broken
I want a man to share his emotions
I want to hold his hand
I want to be held
I need to hear how he feels
I want to feel needed
I want to feel loved
Am I asking for too much
It’s hard to raise a man
