The Man Inside

Bebo Norman

You're waking me up from my daydream

Making me look up from my precious world

Forcing me to see your point of view



This broken sidewalk, not so broken as

The man who likes to walk, jumping all the cracks

Pushing his old bike, he's sure to smile at you



I was looking for the quick way home

But you were happy just to be alone

Something magic must have caught my eye

I saw the secret of the man inside

I saw the secret of the man inside



It's not the sun-baked brick lines in your skin

Thick with chain grease, aged and clumsy hands

It isn't struggled words you fight to say



Beneath the man-suit, beneath your purple skin

There is a boy who don't know that he's a man

He simply close his eyes and he can fly away



I was driving in the same old car

But you were dreaming of a land so far away

I was looking through my corner eye

But you were singing with the man inside

You were singing with the man inside



Some think they got a lot to offer

some think they got a lot to give

Those people think they own this world

But some people know to truly live
