Lyrics
Here's a thought for every man
Reflecting on a universal thought applicable to every man.
Who tries to understand what is in his hands (what's in his hands)
Encouraging the understanding of one's own capabilities and circumstances.
He walks along the open road of love and life
Describing a journey through the challenges of love and life.
Surviving if he can (surviving if he can)
Emphasizing the struggle for survival in the face of difficulties.
Bound with all the weight of all the words he tried to say
Conveying the burden of unspoken words.
Chained to all the places that he never wished to stay
Depicting being tied to unwanted places and situations.
Bound with all the weight of all the words he tried to say
Reiterating the weight of unexpressed thoughts.
As he faced the sun he cast no shadow
Observing that despite challenges, the person remains unaffected or unburdened.
As they took his soul they stole his pride (pride)
Highlighting the loss of soul and pride.
As they took his soul they stole his pride (pride)
Repeating the impact of losing one's soul and pride.
As they took his soul they stole his pride (pride)
Emphasizing the repetitive nature of soul and pride theft.
As he faced the sun he cast no shadow
Reiterating that despite adversity, no shadow is cast.
Ah ah
Expressing a musical interlude or emotional transition.
Ah ah
-Ah ah
-Here's a thought for every man
Recalling the initial thought for understanding one's situation.
Who tries to understand what is in his hands (what's in his hands)
Reiterating the theme of understanding one's circumstances.
He walks along the open road of love and life
Continuing the journey on the open road of love and life.
Surviving if he can (but only if he can)
Highlighting the survival aspect, but with a conditional "if."
Bound with all the weight of all the words he tried to say
Repeating the weight of unspoken words.
Chained to all the places that he never wished to stay
Reiterating being bound to undesired places.
Bound with all the weight of all the words he tried to say
Repeating the burden of unexpressed thoughts.
As he faced the sun he cast no shadow (ah ah)
