Story behind the song

Young boys are told not to cry so they won't look like sissies.
I've seen major politicians criticized for crying during a speech.
Some tell us that if a man doesn't cry, then he must not be a "real" man.
Perhaps crying (or lack of it) doesn't make or break the man.
Or woman, for that matter.
What about laughter?  Thus the song was born.

Lyrics

Mighty One

It doesna€™t take man for a man to cry
And it doesna€™t break a man when a man cries
But to laugh at his troubles and look them in the eye
Takes a mighty man.

It doesna€™t take much woman for a woman to cry
And it doesna€™t break a woman when a woman cries
But to laugh at her troubles and look them in the eye
Takes a mighty woman.

Now a child may be weak and a child may be strong
But what the child sees they remember for so long
They learn by example a€“ they imitate their heroes on TV
But the hero could be you and the hero could be me.

You can take a child and you can make him cry
But you can never make a child by making him cry
When a child laughs at trouble and looks it in the eye
Therea€™s a mighty one.

Now a child can grow big and a child can grow strong
But what his eyes have seen is remembered for so long
They learn by example a€“ they imitate their heroes on TV
But the hero could be you and the hero could be me.

You can take a child and you can make him cry
But you can never make a child by making him cry
When a child laughs at trouble and looks it in the eye
Therea€™s a mighty one.
Therea€™s a mighty one.
Therea€™s a mighty one.
