I have my thoughts to position

But do I know how to act?

I have no silent ambitions

But does that make me a man
        
Until I learn all I can

And mean all I understand
B7#5         
 As a way of giving

      
I'm a piece of the earth
           
I take no offence
         
I can be who I am
            
I have no pretence
        
Only to what you can be

If you want to be 
B7#5           Em9           B7#5 Em9 B7#5
 It's a way of living

                                   
I've got a pen in my pocket does that make me a writer
                               
Standing on the mountain doesn't make me no higher
                     
Putting on gloves don't make you a fighter
                         
And all the study in the world
        B7#5
Doesn't make it science

 Yeah.

So grab a piece in the air
Try an' make it sing
Try and be who you can
It's the real, real thing
I'm into what you can be
If you want to be
As a way of living

I've got a pick in my pocket does that make me a player
Words can't do - what action does louder
Putting on gloves doesn't make me a fighter
And all the study in the world doesn't make it science

(guitar solo)

I've got a pick in my pocket does that make me a player
Words can't do - what action does louder
Putting on gloves doesn't make me a fighter
And all the study in the world doesn't make it science

I've got a pen in my pocket does that make me a writer
Standing on the mountain doesn't make me no higher
Putting on gloves don't make you a fighter
And all the study in the world
Doesn't make it science
