Just A 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.
I, I've been on my own
Wasting too much time
Trying to find the light
The switch inside my mind
It's hard to know what's real
The truth of just a feeling
But I can't tell from here
Now I gotta wake up
Been feeling like a stranger
All that I can hear is noise
But I was barely breathing
I'm gonna break through the ceiling
Now you're gonna hear my voice
You cannot define me
You will never blind me
Or take the truth away from me again
Oh, and I'm still trying to finally
Put you all behind me
Yeah, I'll decide just who the hell I am
I'm just a man
It's all I am
It's all I am
The future and the past
Are falling through our hands
And all we have is now
So take me as I am
'Cause it ain't easy
I know you see me
And I'm not ashamed
To show you who I really am
And now I finally wake up
And I don't see a stranger
I remember who I was
And I was barely breathing
Now I'm breaking through the ceiling
Yeah, you're gonna hear my voice
You cannot define me
You will never blind me
Or take the truth away from me again
Oh, and I'm still trying to finally
Put you all behind me
Yeah, I'll decide just who the hell I am
I'm just a man
It's all I am
I'm just a man
It's all I am
You cannot define me
You will never blind me
Or take the truth away from me again
Oh, and I'm still trying to finally
Put you all behind me
Yeah, I'll decide just who the hell I am
I'm just a man
You cannot define me
You will never blind me
(It's all I am)
Or take the truth away from me again
(I'm just a man)
Oh, and I'm still trying to finally
Put you all behind me
Yeah, I'll decide just who the hell I am
I'm just a man
