"The Greatest Gift To Man"
2011
It's so hard in modern days
For the greatest gift to man
That they claim we help to form
When He placed a rib on chosen land
And then we saw her take shape
In these tales of yesteryear
But now friend, they've left us
With discontent to fester here
She'll face assaults from magazines
And whispers from the crowds
While phony friends and articles
Just aim their armor-piercing rounds
Hoping to tear her godly skin
With the words they hold within
But these fools will never understand
Girl, you're the greatest gift to man
And through mistakes you may have made
They stole the shine from off your blade
But darling, I will make a point of you
By sharpening your point of view
Into a force of will alone
Strong as steel and light as bone
That's wielded by a soul in pain
Who won't be victimized again
And it's so hard in modern days
To see through ancient ignorance
Cause if you looked at all our lives
You'd see a woman's fingerprints
They helped shape us and guide us
When we were lost in seas of pride
And if I've felt closer to Heaven
With each girl I've been inside
But sometimes I'll admit
Anger outweighs the things I feel
But that doesn't mean my love for
All women isn't real
It's just that sometimes I worry
That I'll be alone on dying days
So I'm sorry if I'm in a hurry
To bury ancient man's dying ways
'Cause those fools will never understand
A woman is the greatest gift to man
And through mistakes you may have made
They stole the shine from off your blade
But darling, I will make a point of you
By sharpening your point of view
Into a force of will alone
Strong as steel and light as bone
That's wielded by a soul in pain
Who won't be victimized again
And it's so hard in darkened days
To even find a hint of light
But I can think of all the ways
Your smile will help me see tonight
That I'm both blessed and chosen
To be here at your side
As you melt a heart once frozen
After the years it was denied
Any semblance of channel
in which to flow so very free
And I can't help but to feel
There's no place I'd rather be
Than beneath these bright stars
With my head inside your lap
'Cause I finally understand
Girl, you're greatest gift to man
And through mistakes you may have made
They stole the shine from off your blade
But darling, I will make a point of you
By sharpening your point of view
Into a force of will alone
Strong as steel and light as bone
That's wielded by a soul in pain
Who won't be victimized again
And when you stand with shoulders squared
As the wind plays inside your hair
I want you to remember certain things
Like how love may hurt and sting
But just because that statement's true
It shouldn't mean the world to you
For you have too much inner light to dim
And it's just the gift you got from Him
And I'm also witness to your modesty
But you're a goddess honestly
So you should not forget
That there are things you may regret
And while they've forgotten what you're worth is
Darling, it does not make you worthless
So with your actions of true grace
Use the smile that's on your face
To make these fools understand
A woman is the greatest gift to man...
