Lyrics
What kind of man?
Moonlight waning at my window
While we wait for sunrise
A time to contemplate and know it?s never too late
To look up and question the skies
What?s the point, what?s the plan?
Has it ever crossed your mind? You know
Some think that heaven is about being forgiven
And live their lives blissfully blind
Can anything keep you up at night?
Is life just another task?
Can you take without giving and call it a living
Well, then maybe it?s time that you asked?
Tell me what kind of man am I?
Can I take a stand if I live or if I die?
Tell me what kind of man am I?
Can I live with the truth or hide in the comfort of lies?
Every day?s wrapped in routine
Feeling trapped with no voice
But it?s not what you?ve seen or where you have been
Every man?s given a choice
Sunlight falling through my window
While I wait here for the night
A time to contemplate and know it?s never too late
Not everything is black or white
Tell me what kind of man am I?
Can I take a stand if I live or if I die?
Tell me what kind of man am I?
Can I live with the truth or hide in the comfort of lies?
