Man Like You
Here I sit just like a gloomy little boy
Staring down at all my broken toys
There's no playmates today b'coz it's pourin' rain
There's somethin' missin' that the good times didn't bring
A hidden verse that I don't know how to sing
No, I don't know what to call it; but I want it all the same

Oooh, how the pulse of life cries out to me
Oooh, I even hear it when I sleep
But things are not always what they seem
And how I hope it's more than a dream
That keeps alive this hope inside me

I wanna be a man like You - but my heart won't face the task
I wanna be a man like You - but I tremble when I ask
Oh, the light that shines in darkness
All that's good and true
Take me from myself and make me new
Coz I wanna be a man like You

I hear their voices, see their faces as they smile
They say we'll be together in a little while...
Am I the folly of the fool? Am I the wisdom of the wise man?
Oooh, all the crystal visions that I long to see
Oooh, but I just want to be your friend
But things are not always what they seem
If I could only see what they mean
But what I need is to be still... and know...

I wanna be a man like You - but my heart won't face the task
I wanna be a man like You - but I tremble when I ask
Sometimes I'm up, sometimes I'm down
But I remember what I've found, to make me true
Coz I wanna be a man like You

All my life has come to this point in time
And I wanna live
All that is before, and is behind
Is what You have to give

I wanna be a man like You
Yes, I really wanna see it thru...
