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.

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

This poem speaks to me

I was thinking something along the lines of "More than a man... IRONman!"
Ahaha... ha... anyway.. erm...

Love your song. There's so many innuendos, little passages that describe life in so many words. It's amazing, no matter how long you've known a person, you cannot read them completely.. Great job, I enjoyed it:D

You’re only human trying to figure out who you are, you’re both a mystery and history to society, they forget you the minute you’re gone. You don’t know how things are going to end up or where to go, you seem alone/lonely but you hold onto hope, truth and love and believe that love for the poor is thriving, they can’t give up because there is still hope, you don’t want them to give up because they are what is keeping your hope alive. You’ve been wondering where and when to strike and finally found the right time because you’re stronger and you’re not going to wait around for something to happen, you’re going to make it happen. You will prove yourself to the world. Though you’re strong enough to hold onto hope, the reason that you’re strong enough to, you just may lose and you need them to stay. This is just my interpretation, it was a nice write and flowed well keep it up. :)

Great song, i'd love to hear it sung. =]

[Dutch Jr.]

Love your format, sort of parallelism, and I like the motif that is being conveyed here. Your last stanza was great; very powerful writing.

[Not A Writer]

Good lyric man. I love it.
