Just A Man Among Men
I have seen the face of beautiful
I have held a lady in her most tearful
Seeing pain in every ounce of bone
Knowing she just wanted to be stoned
Loving nights in and nights out
Trail of tears have spread their doubt
I am not a hero
Nor a wanderer
Watching pain cut to the very core
Watching her tears pour
Knowing I cannot do anything about
Holding her close
Knowing she just wants one dose
The saviour of the day
Is not misery or pain
Her want for love is not skin deep
Her want for tenderness she wants in one heap
I am just a man among men
Just a man who wants to save your day
A man who knows he is as frail as your pain
The only offer that I have is to hold your hand
I am just a man among men
Nothing more
Nothing less
