(Chuck Sabatino And Michael McDonald)

What makes a man

Believe in a brighter day

When his whole world is fallin' apart

All promise is fading away

What does it take,

To turn his heart to stone

When he's got more than his share of riches

More than one life can hold



Sometimes it takes

More than we've got it seems

Something so close, so near

Even a blind man sees



If it takes a hand strong and mighty

To spin this world around

It takes the power of a woman's sweet love

To make a man hold on



What makes a man

Hang his hope on someone

To bring the light out of darkness

Makes him believe a change is gonna come



Something inside that just won't let go

Something so simple, so sweet,

Even a fool would know



If it takes a hand strong and mighty

To spin this world around

It takes the power of a woman's sweet love



To bring joy out of pain

To let sunshine through rain

To bring hope back to the heart

To bring together what's fallin' apart



She's got the kind of kisses

To make a weak man strong

She's got the kind of love

To make a good man go wrong

She's got what it takes

She's got the power to make a man hold on
