___________________________________
Here I sit just like a gloomy little boy
Staring down at all my broken toys
There's no playmates today b'coz it's pourin' rain
There's somethin' missin' that the good times didn't bring
A hidden verse that I don't know how to sing
No, I don't know what to call it; but I want it all the same
Oooh, how the pulse of life cries out to me
Oooh, I even hear it when I sleep
But things are not always what they seem
And how I hope it's more than a dream
That keeps alive this hope inside me
I wanna be a man like You - but my heart won't face the task
I wanna be a man like You - but I tremble when I ask
Oh, the light that shines in darkness
All that's good and true
Take me from myself and make me new
Coz I wanna be a man like You
I hear their voices, see their faces as they smile
They say we'll be together in a little while...
Am I the folly of the fool? Am I the wisdom of the wise man?
Oooh, all the crystal visions that I long to see
Oooh, but I just want to be your friend
But things are not always what they seem
If I could only see what they mean
But what I need is to be still... and know...
I wanna be a man like You - but my heart won't face the task
I wanna be a man like You - but I tremble when I ask
Sometimes I'm up, sometimes I'm down
But I remember what I've found, to make me true
Coz I wanna be a man like You
All my life has come to this point in time
And I wanna live
All that is before, and is behind
Is what You have to give
I wanna be a man like You
Yes, I really wanna see it thru...

I HAVE to get this album.
There are few Christian rock albums that can hold a candle to this, even after three decades.

Outstanding Song.

[@bartolemeo]

This song has moved my soul for years. It's a prayer of the highest order. Thanks for posting this beautiful record.

I remembered in the old days i kept playin on my vinyl from start of guitar solo at 4:00 onwards but what hit me is his vocal at 4:16 to fade. I can identify with the lyrics of this song as its speaks of my journey as a believer and how i survive through is only by His Grace. Thank You Jesus

The song ends abruptly, 10-20 seconds before the end. I'm grateful others have uploaded complete versions.

[@bartolemeo]

If you look up Greg's site on the web, you can email him. He's likely got some copies for sale.
