Man Like You

Here i sit, just like a gloomy little boy,

Staring down at all my broken toys,

There's no playmates today because it's pouring rain,

There's something missing that the good times didn't bring,

A hidden verse that i don't know how to sing,

No, i don't know what to call it, but i want it all the same.

Ooh, how the pulse of life cries out to me,

Ooh, i even hear it when i sleep, yeah,

But things are not always what they seem, and how

I hope it's more than a dream that keeps alive

This hope inside me.

I want to be a man like you, but my heart won't face the take,

I want to be a man like you, but i tremble when i ask,

Oh, the light that shines in darkness, all that's good and true,

Take me from myself and make me new, 'cause

I want to be a man like you.

I hear their voices, see their faces as they smile,

They say, "we'll be together in a little while,"

Am i the folly of the fool? am i the wisdom of the wise man?

Ooh, all the crystal visions that i long to see,

Ooh, and i just want to be your friend, yeah,

But things are not always what they seem,

If i could only see what they mean, but what

I need is to be still and know.

I want to be a man like you, but my heart won't face the take,

I want to be a man like you, and i tremble when i ask,

Oh, the light that shines in darkness, all that's good and true,

Take me from myself and make me new,

I want to be a man like you, but my heart won't face the take,

I want to be a man like you, but i tremble when i ask,

Sometimes i'm up, sometimes i'm down,

But i remember what i've found to make me true,

'cause i want to be a man like you.

Like you,

Ooh, yeah.

All my life has come to this point in time, and i want to live,

All that is before and is behind is what you have to give,

I want you be a man like you,

Yes, i really want to see it through,

Oh, i want you be a man like you,

Yeah, i really want to see it through,

Oh, i want you be a man like you, (be a man like you)

Oh, i really want to see it through, (want to see it through)
