Man stands in all his glory 
Sitting at the crossroads of the same old story 
Man got his make-up, wears it like a mask 
Hides inside a child, lives inside a glass 
Man breathes his own deceit 
Man worships his own defeat 
 
Oh I'm a man, I know what it feels like 
I'm a man, working on the living part of life 
You see through me, I understand 
But don't lose hope if you can 
Have a little faith in man 
 
Shakespeare's men got all the lines 
Modern man lives back in time 
Man got bravado in his big steel hands 
Runs with the wolf, sleeps with the lamb 
Man falls, cuts and bleeds 
Man stumbles on his own belief 
 
He's the hoax behind the thrill 
The poison arrow, the bitter pill 
Hard to swallow, hard to kill, hard to understand 
He's the light behind the hill 
The broken promise, the iron will 
Hard to kill, hard to understand
