Paper 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.
Here in my heart I am
Here in my heart I am
Here in my heart I am
Here in my heart I am
I won't live like a paper man
And step into life, the joy that I had
I won't fold like a paper man
To which I've been told by a paper-white plan
Hear me
Hear me
When I stay, I won't play for long
As long as I have a song, I'll sing
A song I'll sing
Here in my mind I am
Here in my mind I am
Here in my mind I am
Here in my mind I am
I won't live like a paper man
Step into life, the joy that I had
I won't fold like a paper man
To which I've been told by a paper-white plan
Hear me
Hear me
Hear me
Hear me
I won't live like a paper man
And step into life, the joy that I had
I won't fold like a paper man
To which I've been told by a paper-white plan
Hear me
Hear me
I stay, I won't play for long
As long as I have a song, I'll sing
A song I'll sing
Here in my heart I am
Here in my heart I stand
Here in my heart I stand
