I am but a man A single foe to me Is the reason I harbour With all certainty I am but a man Who is never too true For in lies I believe And envy the comfort they give to you I am but a man Who prays to god and devil alike Who shames in all carnal desires And prays with all his might I am but a man For a step or two I believe I can write history But I can't see it through I am but a man Who will never see the light For peace is unforgiving Come day or night I am but a man Who loves for reasons cruel For the heart of a stranger Is gold to this fool. I see but now The error of my ways The dance of insanity And time of the day I say to you Love me for what I am Always just a man Who lives and breathes.

I am but a man
I am but a man A single foe to me Is the reason I harbour With all certainty I am but a man Who is never too true For in lies I believe And envy the comfort they give to you I am but a man Who prays to god and devil alike Who shames in all carnal desires And prays with all his might I am but a man For a step or two I believe I can write history But I can't see it through I am but a man Who will never see the light For peace is unforgiving Come day or night I am but a man Who loves for reasons cruel For the heart of a stranger Is gold to this fool. I see but now The error of my ways The dance of insanity And time of the day I say to you Love me for what I am Always just a man Who lives and breathes.
