Here i sit, just like a gloomy little boy,
Staring down at all my broken toys,
There's no playmates today because it's pouring rain,
There's something missing 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, yeah,
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 want to be a man like you, but my heart won't face the take,
I want to 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, 'cause
I want to 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, and i just want to be your friend, yeah,
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 want to be a man like you, but my heart won't face the take,
I want to be a man like you, and 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 want to be a man like you, but my heart won't face the take,
I want to 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,
'cause i want to be a man like you.
Like you,
Ooh, yeah.
All my life has come to this point in time, and i want to live,
All that is before and is behind is what you have to give,
I want you be a man like you,
Yes, i really want to see it through,
Oh, i want you be a man like you,
Yeah, i really want to see it through,
Oh, i want you be a man like you, (be a man like you)
Oh, i really want to see it through, (want to see it through)
