Lyrics

[Chorus]
There ain't no man
Can save me
There ain't no man
Can enslave me
Ain't no man or men that can change the shape my soul is in
There ain't nobody here who can cause me pain or raise my fear
'Cause I got only love to share
If you're looking for truth, I'm proof you'll find it there
[Verse 1]
You got to serve something, ain't that right?
I know it gets dark, but there's always a light
You don't have to buy in to get into the club
Trade your worries
You gotta show up if you wanna be seen
If it matters to you, Ma, it matters to me
And I'm going to fall hard, yeah I know I am
When the clowns crack up, I laugh with them
[Chorus]
There ain't no man
Can save me
There ain't no man
Can enslave me
Ain't no man or men that can change the shape my soul is in
There ain't nobody here who can cause me pain or raise my fear
'Cause I got only love to share
If you're looking for truth, I'm proof you'll find it there
[Verse 2]
You say you look funny, I say you're a star
I say you're whatever you think you are
Watch the naysayers fall right in line
If we believe it, they'll say
"He's so pretty
He's so fine"
[Chorus]
There ain't no man
Can save me
There ain't no man
Can enslave me
Ain't no man or men that can change the shape my soul is in
Shape my soul is in
There ain't nobody here who can cause me pain or raise my fear
'Cause I got only love to share
If you're looking for truth, I'm proof you'll find it there
[Bridge]
Oh, my father who art in Heaven
Now thy will be done
Lord, lay your hand on my shoulder
And guide me to our home
[Chorus]
There ain't no man
Lord, lay your hand on my shoulder
There ain't no man
Ain't no man or men that can change the shape my soul is in
Guide me to our home
The shape my soul is in
The sea for all its beauty is just the great unknown
There ain't nobody here who can cause me pain or raise my fear
'Cause I got only love to share
Unknown
If you're looking for truth, I'm proof you'll find it there
Lord, lay your hand and guide me, guide me
[Outro]
If you're looking for truth, I'm proof you'll find it there
If you're looking for truth, I'm proof you'll find it there
Guide me
If you're looking for truth, I'm proof
You'll find it
