The Man I Am

Jim Peterik

    Continues after the ad

    There's a man inside who fights the dawn
    Whose heart is built for moving on
    All alone, burning free and wild
    There's a different man who plays the part
    Of hometown boy who won your heart
    It hurts when these two halves can't reconcile

    And the man I am
    Is driven to the danger
    And the man you think you know
    Is nothing but a stranger

    We are worlds apart
    And it breaks my heart
    To be the man I am
    Not the man you need me to be

    Now I walk the line of wrong and right
    And race against the dying light
    And pray each night for shelter from the storm
    So I find a harbor deep inside
    A peace your arms just can't provide
    And hope to God our love can be reborn

    And the man I am
    Is driven to the danger
    And the man you think you know
    Is nothing but a stranger
    We are worlds apart
    And it breaks my heart
    To be the man I am
    Not the man you need me to be

    The night keep rolling from the night before
    Still I'm looking for, searching for
    Reaching for more
    Face to the wind, looking for shelter

    They've got something you can take
    When you're falling apart
    But there's just no cure for the wandering heart
    Is there a road that takes me back home?

    And the man I am
    Is driven to the danger
    And the man you think you know
    Is nothing but a stranger
    We are worlds apart

    And it breaks my heart
    To be the man I am
    Not the man you need me to be
    To be the man I am
    Not the man you need me to be
