That's Why We've Added the Blue

We’ve added some blue to the sea of pink
To ensure that all men will stop and think
Breast cancer is a disease that affects men too
So that is why we added the blue
Breast cancer awareness and breast self exam
Are not just for a woman but also a man
Survival rates for men are lower than women
Early detection is crucial for both men and women
October is breast cancer awareness month for women
So if we can share we can make men aware
The third week of October is breast cancer week for men
We can show the whole world that everyone cares
A Man’s Pink mission makes us stop and think
And that’s why we added the blue to the pink
If we firmly believe what we feel and see with our eyes
Raising awareness definitely increases our chance to survive
