I Am Just A Man

Lyrics

I am just a man, trying to understand

This world in which we grow

Moved by your mighty hand

 

Through the dust and rain, your heartbeat lights the way

In a bitter war torn world, you carry me keep me safe

 

I see the grief that leads to blood shed, I hear the cries without the tears

See our women and children starve, while we tie ourselves to trees

 

I see the make up that covers heartburn, plastic smiles of airs and grace

Blind man leading blind man into a ditch of eternal flame

 

And where is love and forgiveness we dare not let them fade

Coz its love that’s holding you and me, keeps us breathing day by day

 

Walk, walk in the light of life, love, love God with all your might

Relate, Relate, Relate to your fellow man,

 

Surrender to Gods pure Love my friend

"I am just a man, trying to understand
This world in which we grow"

Everyone is trying to understand this world, and in my case life. I this can help people push forward in life.
I have came to my own conclusion of life. Its was a scary moment. But i found it. Thanks for sharing i am saving this piece.

Your first line says it all Mat, we are all 'only people' trying to understand the actions of others and also trying to be aware and focused on God's ultimate plan. This is a reminder of the, sometimes ridiculous, things that people do, but I do believe that those who tie themselves to trees are doing SOMETHING for the environment. People are starving and the world is in a mess...this makes us aware...or reminds us of the atrocities.
I know this is a song you wrote and it is terrific!
