Lyrics
I am just a man
I acknowledge my human identity.
And as broken as I am
Despite my flaws, I am imperfect.
I have so many questions
I express uncertainty and seek answers.
About the suffering in this land
Contemplating the suffering in the world.
Why do people fall
Questioning why people face challenges without receiving answers.
Get no answer when they call?
Highlighting the unanswered calls in difficult times.
Oh the loneliness of time
Reflecting on the loneliness experienced over time.
Has made the strongest of us cry
Noting that even the strongest individuals cry due to the passage of time.
Oh I’ve been lucky when it’s good
Acknowledging both fortunate and painful experiences.
And it hurt when things were bad
Expressing the emotional impact of difficult situations.
But the rule of life is change
Embracing the concept that change is an inherent rule of life.
Through the sunshine and the rain
Highlighting life's variability through good and bad times.
Oh my heart was open wide
Sharing a sense of vulnerability with an open heart.
Yet so many dreams have died
Expressing the disappointment of dreams not coming true.
But I moved on just the same
Moving forward despite setbacks.
Through the joy and through the pain
Navigating through both joy and pain.
I moved on
Reiterating the determination to continue moving forward.
And I had my choice of girls
Recalling having choices in relationships.
And I chased after the my goals
Pursuing personal goals with determination.
But the trickery of youth is thinking
Reflecting on the misconception that life will always be fast-paced.
Life will never slow
Highlighting the naivety of thinking life won't slow down.
My eyes saw the good
Observing the positive aspects despite challenges.
Broken trodden down with shoulds
Recognizing the impact of societal expectations.
As the wicked rule the land
Commenting on the influence of wickedness in society.
And bless their own hateful hands
Reflecting on the consequences of harmful actions.
