More than a Man

A song wanting to be more than a man but a success.

I’m only a man

Wondering who I am.

I’m only a mystery

To society I am history.

How this day will end

I don’t know,

But I’m tired of falling

Where on earth will I go?

 

There is hope,

Hope beyond the river.

There is truth,

Truth to all men to come.

There is love,

Love for the poor abounding.

Just don’t give up

Don’t give up,

I need you.

 

I’ve been wondering some time now,

Enough questions of when, where, how.

I won’t stand still no longer

It’s time now that I get stronger.

I won’t just stare at the door

Waiting for what’s in store.

Oh, I will make my move

And success to the world I’ll prove.

 

There is hope,

Hope beyond the river.

There is truth,

Truth to all men to come.

There is love,

Love for the poor abounding.

Just don’t give up

Don’t give up,

I need you.

 

 

Author's Note

Why did I choose iron man for this picture? I wish I could answer that question.

Strong poem.

The poem is hopeful and strong in purpose. I like the flow and the story. Hope is necessary for us to go forward in a life. We must help each other with kind words and friendly smile. A outstanding poem.

This poem is automatically awesome for the Iron Man picture =P. Joking aside, I actually really do dig the optimistic nature of this poem, it's really cool, and very true to pretty much anyones life! Keep it up man!
