Ashes to ashes and dust to dust
Are never enough for me.
I need to know what goes into a man
And makes him the man I see.
For ashes are such a powdery fluff
And fly like the dust in the air
But man must have a heart and soul
And a need to love and care.
I measure a man by the love he shares
And the caring that sets him apart.
Then I will know the strength of the man
And the joy love creates in his heart
Are never enough for me.
I need to know what goes into a man
And makes him the man I see.
For ashes are such a powdery fluff
And fly like the dust in the air
But man must have a heart and soul
And a need to love and care.
I measure a man by the love he shares
And the caring that sets him apart.
Then I will know the strength of the man
And the joy love creates in his heart
