Lyrics
Simple 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 wake up to the beating of my weary heart
It feels the burden of where I want to be
I carry a weight that is more than just create
And don't lift it from me even if you care
Don't take it from me it is mine to bear
With stubbornness I continue down the lonely road
Convinced it's the path for me
In spite of the truth that I can't do this alone
I'm too proud to admit I'm weak
And I'm too weak to receive what I need
Can't you understand I'm a simple man
I don't want to throw it all away
When the sun finally sets and my eyes start to close
I wanna know I made the most of my days
I wanna know that my life I didn't waste
Would you say the end justifies the means?
Because fear is breathing down my neck
I'm afraid of passing by on the fast track to die
Losing my youth and missing my time
Leaving nothing but a feeble memory behind
But it's not my place to be a hero
I'm just human, frail, fallen, in need
Aching to fully find truth and love
And discovering that there is a peace
Being a small part in a bigger story
