Just to be a Man Lyrics

Dark clouds coming, rain be pouring down

Water running, cleansing all around

I know it's wrong, but I don't know what's right

Night be creeping, creeping over now

No birds be singing, no beasts begin to howl

I know it's wrong, but I don't know what's right

'Cos I'm a saint and I'm a sinner, I was born a winner

But I'll always throw the cards in if I can

Wise enough to break the rules but I know I'm still a fool

'Cos I'm scared it's not enough, just to be a man

Fire's burning, dancing in our eyes

Smoke is churning and softening our cries

I know it's wrong, but I don't know what's right

Hearts are beating, colours held up high

What good be colours when you've sacrificed the light?

I know it's wrong, but I don't know what's right

'Cos I'm a saint and I'm a sinner, I was born a winner

But I'll always throw the cards in if I can

Wise enough to break the rules but I know I'm still a fool

'Cos I'm scared it's not enough just to be a man

And when I close my eyes to dream, I find I dream about a fool

Who don't know where he is from, No past to hang his life upon

And if the words don't fit the song, then how can it be wrong

Just to be a man?

Just to be a man

Just to be a man

Just to be a man

Just to be a man

Just to be a man

Just to be a man

Just to be a man

Just to be a man

Just to be a man
