The man I long to be

Verse 1

I stand at the mirror, looking in the glass,

Staring at a stranger, the pains of my past.

Questions surround me, beating in my chest,

Why’s the road so hard, a never ending test

Pre-Chorus

But somewhere inside there’s a voice I can hear,

Calling me closer, pulling me near.

Chorus

Who am I, why all these fears?

The chorus of doubt still ringing in my ears.

Through the fears and the tears, I’ll finally come to see,

It’s the man I long to be!

Verse 2

I’ve carried these masks for oh so long,

Trying to fit in, trying to belong.

Not quite fitting in, not feeling right,

What’s wrong with me? Why is this a fight?

Pre-Chorus

But somewhere inside there’s a voice I can hear,

Calling me closer, pulling me near.

Chorus

Who am I, why all these fears?

The chorus of doubt still ringing in my ears.

Through the fears and the tears, I’ll finally come to see,

It’s the man I long to be

Bridge

Maybe this pain’s been guiding me home,

Teaching through trials that I’m not alone.

These questions, these tears, these struggles I own,

They’re helping to show me the man I’ve known.

Quick chorus

Who am I why all these fears

The chorus of doubt still ring in my ears

Through the fears and the tears, I’ll finally come to see,

It’s the man I long to be.

Final Chorus

Now I see beyond the fears,

The silence of doubt is fading from my ears.

Out of my struggles I can finally see

I’m becoming the man I’m meant to be.

Through the years,the tears and the trials, I’ll finally see,

The man I’m meant to be.
