A circle forms around two lads
Circle of boys
Circle of boys
There's gonna be a fight in the playground
Gonna be a fight in the playground
Sleeves rolled up
Socks pulled down
Blood flows from one kid's nose
But the older boys want more
The older boys want more
They want strips torn from uniforms
It's a test of strength
Two boys rolling around in the dust
In the dust
In the dust
Embrace

And when a boy grows up he's still the same
He's still the same
But he's a man
And a man is physical
And a man has to put his physical
Body to the test
Body to the test
Body to the test
Against another man
Do you measure up?
Or do you still have work to do?
Still have work to do?
Embrace
It's hard to trust somebody
It's hard to believe in love
How do you measure love?
But you can trust your body
Push / rip / taste / touch / work your body
And if you work that body
Don't need to trust nobody
Pull the trigger
Run the race
Beat the man
Chase the clock
Aware to God
That's His that was
Throw the spear
Take the glory
Embrace

A man can meet another man
In a bar
On the sports field
At his place of work
Or in his own apartment
Or on the internet right now

So Turn / Face / Connect
Embrace
You gotta prove yourself
Understand yourself
Show your strength
And embrace

Now flex
Look your best
Eye to eye
Embrace

Turn / Face
Man and Woman
Embrace

Come on, embrace
Come on, embrace
Come on, embrace

The body is real
The body is real
The body is real

You gotta love one another
Love one another
Love one another
