She's every reason I take so much work on And every reason I take so much time at home And every single reason why I'm so much stronger And every reason I could never be alone Look at me, you'll see who I've found I'm beside myself whenever she's around Without her, you'd see a different man It's what she makes of me, she's half the man I am When the rivers all run dry, she finds the water And when everything is dark, she finds the light And when it's time to fly, she's flying with me With her on the wing, we balance out just right Look at me, you'll see who I've found I'm beside myself whenever she's around Without her, you'd see a different man It's what she makes of me, she's half the man I am I'm what she's made of me, she's half the man I am
