Songtext zu 'The Man I Am' von Jim Peterik

There's a man inside who fights the dawn
Whose heart is built for moving on
All alone, burning free and wild
There's a different man who plays the part
Of hometown boy who won your heart
It hurts when these two halves can't reconcile

And the man I am
Is driven to the danger
And the man you think you know
Is nothing but a stranger

We are worlds apart
And it breaks my heart
To be the man I am
Not the man you need me to be

Now I walk the line of wrong and right
And race against the dying light
And pray each night for shelter from the storm
So I find a harbor deep inside
A peace your arms just can't provide
And hope to God our love can be reborn

And the man I am
Is driven to the danger
And the man you think you know
Is nothing but a stranger
We are worlds apart
And it breaks my heart
To be the man I am
Not the man you need me to be

The night keep rolling from the night before
Still I'm looking for, searching for
Reaching for more
Face to the wind, looking for shelter

They've got something you can take
When you're falling apart
But there's just no cure for the wandering heart
Is there a road that takes me back home?

And the man I am
Is driven to the danger
And the man you think you know
Is nothing but a stranger
We are worlds apart

And it breaks my heart
To be the man I am
Not the man you need me to be
To be the man I am
Not the man you need me to be
