Am I a murderer if I'm killing time?
Am I a poet if I supply a rhyme?
Am I a martyr if I die for life?
All that I know is I'm glad I'm here tonight.
Am I a wanderer if my feet lead me astray?
Am I a dreamer if I stare at you all day?
Am I a lover if I hold you until we're gray?
All that I know is we'll never fade away.
I am finally a simple matter of a man.
Nobody's pet, nobody's kill, nobody's prey.
All that I ask is that you try to understand
That I have grown to this, and I have you to thank.
Am I a servant if I wait on you?
Am I a preacher if I preach what I think is true?
Am I a king if I rule a household too?
And if I asked for your hand, what exactly would you do?
I am finally a simple matter of a man.
Nobody's pet, nobody's kill, nobody's prey.
All that I ask is that you try to understand
That I have grown to this, and I have you to thank.
I AM FLAWED
I AM BATTERED
I AM TORN
BUT THIS MATTERS
But would you stay?
Would you stay?
Would you stay?
I am finally a simple matter of a man.
Nobody's pet, nobody's kill, nobody's prey.
All that I ask is that you try to understand
That I have grown to this
Oh I have grown to this
I have grown to this,
And I have you to thank.
