If "manners maketh man" as someone said 
Then he‘s the hero of the day 
It takes a man to suffer ignorance and smile 
Be yourself no matter what they say

I‘m an Englishman in New York

At night a candle‘s brighter than the sun 
 
Takes more than combat gear to make a man 
Takes more than license for a gun 
Confront your enemies, avoid them when you can 
(A) gentleman will walk but never run 
 
If "manners maketh man" as someone said 
Then he‘s the hero of the day 
It takes a man to suffer ignorance and smile 
Be yourself no matter what they say
