I Am a Man
...
Let my friends go.
No longer show.
Comrade or foe.
Belong not, any more.
Thrown out of the door.
I need no one, no fan.
I am a man.
Let my friends go.
I am alone.
Those who liked me.
Do not stay.
Those that hate me.
Are stronger, every day.
Fear not. I just say.
I am a man.
Let the wind blow.
The rivers flow.
The sea crash.
The waves smash.
Let my body break.
With an awful ache.
Nothing can destroy me.
I am a man.
