It's the Life of a Man
It’s a pain I could not sharpen
The worst feeling I could not pen
A failure I could not champagne
The more wine
I drown
30’000 feet below my cloud nine
Overcast by its golden shine
Awash by black rain
By His divine
Eye could not be seen
But I’ll rise again
And steam ahead my engine
Dark is the night
Bloodied is the fight
Black is the light
Left is all that was right
I’ll face all that is vein
Spice all that is plain
All my mistakes realign
Heart I’ll regain
With renewed strength to move mountains
For better or worst took my women
She then took my children
My perfect life was stolen
What love gave me in return
Was even...
...more pain!
It’s a shock that could not be spoken
Suffering that could not be taken
A loss that could not be bitten
You just cannot begin to imagine
I was broken
But I changed into the fast lane
Launched this tired airplane
On an uplifting campaign
Steamed ahead my engine
And rose again
‘cos I know no matter what comes, I can
You Just got to make a plan
...it’s the life of a man
