Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I say I'm just a gentle man
'Cause that's the way I seem to be
And I know I have the feelings of a man
'Cause sometimes they bring me misery
I want to jump and feel the cosmic force
But I have to find the time on this crooked course
So I struggle to eat and make end meet
And run
[Verse 2]
And I like to see humility
'Cause it's a good way to be, I know
But for people to listen, you've got to be loud
To be heard above the big ego
The humble man in one on who the people depend
But the proud man stand between them and a win
And they don't have to face cold nature's embrace
When they run off
[Verse 3]
So I see how the world is now
And I just have one thing to say
There ain't no place for a gentle man
But I wish it really wasn't that way
You have to fight for love just to be a man
But killing over love is what I don't understand
I wanna follow my feelings, in this we must
In God we trust
[Verse 4]
Hey-yay-yeah
And I like to see humility
'Cause it's a good way to be, oh, yeah
I wanna tell you people
In this we must, yeah
God we trust
