Lyrics
I am just a man
And as broken as I am
I have so many questions
About the suffering in this land

Why do people fall
Get no answer when they call?
Oh the loneliness of time
Has made the strongest of us cry

So I packed my bags
Packed up everything I had
And I fell in with the wrong crowd
just to try at my own hand

The first cut stung my eyes
And then a hundred passed me by
And I found that no man
can run away from his own lies.

Oh I’ve been lucky when it’s good
And it hurt when things were bad
But the rule of life is change
Through the sunshine and the rain

Oh my heart was open wide
Yet so many dreams have died
But I moved on just the same
Through the joy and through the pain

I moved on

And I had my choice of girls
And I chased after the my goals
But the trickery of youth is thinking
Life will never slow

My eyes saw the good
Broken trodden down with shoulds
As the wicked rule the land
And bless their own hateful hands
