Man Like You

Here I sit just like a gloomy little boy
Staring down at all my broken toys
There's no playmates today
Because it's pourin' rain

There's somethin' missin'
That the good times didn't bring
A hidden verse
That I don't know how to sing
No, I don't know what to call it
But I want it all the same

Ooh, how the pulse of life cries out to me
Ooh, I even hear it when I sleep
But things are not always what they seem
And how I hope it's more than a dream
That keeps alive this hope inside me

I wanna be a man like You
But my heart won't face the task
I wanna be a man like You
But I tremble when I ask
Oh, the light that shines in darkness
All that's good and true
Take me from myself and make me new
Coz I wanna be a man like You

I hear their voices
See their faces as they smile
They say we'll be together
In a little while
Am I the folly of the fool?
Am I the wisdom of the wise man?

Ooh, all the crystal visions that I long to see
Ooh, but I just want to be your friend
But things are not always what they seem
If I could only see what they mean
But what I need is to be still and know

I wanna be a man like You
But my heart won't face the task
I wanna be a man like You
But I tremble when I ask
Oh, the light that shines in darkness
All that's good and true
Take me from myself and make me new

I wanna be a man like You
But my heart won't face the task
I wanna be a man like You
But I tremble when I ask
Sometimes I'm up, sometimes I'm down
But I remember what I've found
To make me true
Coz I wanna be a man like You

Like You, ooh, yeah

All my life has come to this point in time
And I wanna live
All that is before, and is behind
Is what You have to give

I wanna be a man like You
Yeah, I really wanna see it thru
I wanna be a man like You
Be a man like You
Oh, I really wanna see it thru
Wanna see it thru...
