Story Behind the Song
A protest song from the old school I guess.
With a mother that is a fanatical born again christian. This is just my way of getting some balance in my life.
Lyrics
I’m just an ordinary man,
No understanding have I of the greater plan,
I’ve tried so hard to do my best,
And yet received far less.
I’ve tried in my way to be free,
And for a short while thought I wanted to believe,
I saw the footprints in the sand,
Washed out on the tide again.
Chorus
So if you think as you breathe to speak,
Of what your words would someday come to mean,
Of what they’d mean if they were said to you,
Would you only speak the truth, only speak the truth.
So lie to me I understand,
It’s better for me this way being such a simple man,
I find no comfort in your words,
Your message still goes unheard.
Chorus
So if you think as you breathe to speak,
Of what your words would someday come to mean,
Of what they’d mean if they were said to you,
Would you only speak the truth, only speak the truth.
And I wanted to belong,
I wanted to be strong,
Until I found that all that I thought all along,
Was wrong
