Neal Morse - I Am The Man lyrics

I. I'm in a Cage As the dream floats by ('neath the towering sky) There's a move to move me forward But it only lasts 'til I fall on yesterday With opinions thrown (like the crowd's first stone) And the world of men is nowhere I have a sense of freedom but it feels so far away 'Cause I'm in a cage (of my own making) I never wanted to be this way I'm in a cage (my heart is breaking) But I'll tough it out today I could move way in (I could move way out) I could move all the way to Cairo "But someone would be there; someone that I know too well" I wanna change my mind (wanna change my heart) I just need some relief but I know That it just won't come, that is as long as I'm myself 'Cause I'm in a cage (of my own making) I never wanted to be this way I'm in a cage (my heart is breaking) But I'll tough it out today I'm in a cage (of my own making) And now I forgot what the reason is I'm in a cage (the toll's been taking) But I guess that's all there is.... There's a reason why the storm is raging There's a reason why you feel alone (the man's gone to make his way alone) There's a reason why your soul's been caged in Can't you feel your need to come back home? (the man's gone) Feel your need to come back home (the man's gone) Feel your need to come back home II. I am the Man I can't see your throne So I will build my own I'll build it high and tall The world will see I don't need YOU At all Look how far I've come The poor abandoned son My cities scrape to the sky I believe in myself I believe that I can fly....fly... FLY HIGH! I am what I say I am I am the man If I don't like the deal I'll invent what's real If this creates some confusion I just need a bigger and better illusion I am what I say I am I am the man One hope One life One eternal fact You're a Part of me And I want you back One hope One life One eternal soul One hand Reaching All is ever whole And you won't find me By living For the flesh 'Til you come home I won't let you rest III. The Man's Gone (Reprise) The man's gone he doesn't need a thing The man's gone to crown himself as king The man's gone to make is way alone The man's gone to make is way alone The man's gone to turn his heart to stone The man's gone to make is way alone IV. Something Within Me Remembers But something within me remembers But something within me remembers But something within me remembers Deep within my heart I remember the feeling together When everything was part of my world And I was part of everything I felt a child of the King
