Cover art for manly man lyrics by Bradley Hathaway

LOL Emo 4 u. This is hardly emo. He uses a slam deliver which is AWESOME, and although I'm not Christian, I can still listen to his words and appreciate them. He is very talented, and I assure you that every word in this was picked for maximum effect.

He uses sterotypes to break them. Although some of his other songs are more "emo" this particular song is about as emo as your everyday country song. He is saying that manhood is defined by your charecter and your heart, not by your physical features or actions.

It's brilliant.
