There's a Man

Music

There's a man
he's all alone
crying out to the God
he once had known
Every day
is a nightmare
life is hell
but what else is there?

What's this man going to do?

He had dreamed of being free
he wanted to live his life completely
He ran after the sun
pretending to fly
He wanted to talk with God
and look Him in the eyes

There's a man
lying in the street
his head on the curb
watching all the feet go by
At him
all the people stare
they're so glad
that they aren't there

What's this man going to do?

He had dreamed of being free
he wanted to live his life completely
He ran after the sun
pretending to fly
He wanted to talk with God
and look Him in the eyes

A desperate man
how he's tried
to find the truth
You know he cried, he cried
Then one day
he came up to me
and spoke of a place
that he would rather be

Then he said goodbye
