What makes the ice so cold?
or the fire its flame burning hot?
What makes the lion so brave and bold?
or the dolphin so happy and cheerful with its lot?
What makes the sun so bright?
Or the moon so calm at night?
It is the sea that makes the man a sailor,
It’s the song that makes the man a singer
It’s the poem that makes the man a poet
It’s the love that makes the man a decent person
It is the will and strength that makes man courageous
It’s the hope that makes the man alive
