Lyrics
The Man I Want To Be
Verse 1
I started out this life on a lonely highway
And when my time is done I'll be travelin' on
I walked these streets alone with a restless heart
But, I just never found the place where I belong
Verse 2
There was a time when I believed I was invincible
Chasing those dreams of gold just made for fools
I never saw the signs as the Horseman rode my way
Ignored the price I'd pay, the love I'd lose
Chorus
Release the flashing rage and silken chains that bind my body
Free my troubled mind, open these blinded eyes to see
Forgive the pain I've caused and all the love that I have wasted
Bring me closer to THE MAN I WANT TO BE (Inst)
Bridge
I was racing down that highway, but, I could not see the end
I said I didn't care, now, I no longer can pretend
The love we shared together's what I need to set me free
Your love will help me change into THE MAN I WANT TO BE
Verse 3
I can no longer see the way that this will end
But, I will free my life of foolish pride
For everything I need is written in your eyes
THE MAN I WANT TO BE is by your side
Chorus
Release the flashing rage and silken chains that bind my body
Free my troubled mind, open these blinded eyes to see
Forgive the pain I've caused and all the love that I have wasted
Bring me closer to THE MAN I WANT TO BE
Outro
Release the flashing rage and silken chains that bind my body
Free my troubled mind, open these blinded eyes to see
Forgive the pain I've caused and all the love that I have wasted
Bring me closer to THE MAN I WANT TO BE
Bring me closer to THE MAN I WANT TO BE...Yeah, Yeah......
