I cried last night, first time in years,
I tried to fight, but I didn't want to hold back the tears,
Does it come as such a big surprise'
I've got to make you realize that I'm not what you think I am,
I'm nothing more than just a man, oh yeah.

I'm just a man,
I'm just a man,
I'm just a man,
I'm just a man.

The fear of death has left me stunned,
The year's gone by, and what's been done'
I'm sorry for the way I've been,
God, please wash away my sin,
Look down upon my circumstance,
Please give me a second chance, oh yeah.

I'm just a man,
I'm just a man,
I'm just a man,
I'm just a man.

I cried last night, I faced my fears,
You may be strong, but there is no strength where there are no tears,
Now, I'm not into playing games or lifting up my holy name,
But there's one thing I'd like to do: I'd like to learn to live and cry with you.

I'm just a man,
I'm just a man,
I'm just a man,
I'm just a man.
