Lyrics
Lonely Man
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Wish I was a plane, flying high alone
Heading towards the sun, taking myself home
Troubles far behind, worries down below
Floating by my side, clouds as white as snow
But I'm just a man
Just a lonely, lonely man
Stuck here on the ground
When I should be heaven bound
Shattered hopes and broken dreams, all I have to show for life
There's a better way it seems, but I let it slip right by
Oh I wish I didn't feel, all this heavy load on me
Maybe I could fly, rising high like a bird above the sea
But I'm just a man
Just a lonely, lonely man
Stuck here on the ground
When I should be heaven bound
But I'm just a man
Just a lonely, lonely man
Stuck here on the ground
When I should be heaven bound......
