A heart that beats is to a man
bestowed to him, a thinking mind
Man’s not a tree, he is much more
a seeker of truth, not to be blind

Blessed with reason and a soul
though all comfort from him taken
Man’s not a tree, he is much more
he can get up, and not stay broken

Tenderness and care is to a man
Wisdom to choose, right from wrong
Man’s not a tree, he is much more
Man needs to share and to belong

Life and hope, man is given free
as pain for others, he must feel
Man’s not a tree, he is much more
made not of wood, but of flesh real
