Heart of A Man

You've seen him more than a thousand times,
And you know he's just like you,
Tell me what has changed,
And where is it you lost your soul, to see a man like he's the devil
And it's your place to wipe him out

Just like you, he cries when he's sad, laughs when he's happy
Is it so hard to see that?
And just like you, he wants to make his woman smile,
make his child feel
Like they're somebody

You force her down to the ground, hear her scream but you never stop What kind of soul do you have?
You walk away with a grin, like you've shaken the hand of God,
And he gave you a big smile
How badly can your soul be detached
You can't even think, what if this was my sister?
And now she'll walk around like Tamar
Disgraced and undefended,
God's poor soul

Oh now tell me now, What is it that happens in the heart of a man
For him to act like that
