I'm Not Made of Steel

Under the endless sky

Beneath a million stars

Within the course of a lifetime

How very young we are

As I stumble on this journey

Along the road to what is real

I'm not made of steel

I'm not made of steel

With all the lessons of my learning

And all the strength that I possess

Still there are mountains I wish I was moving

That take much more than my best

There are plans beyond my power

There are dreams beyond my reach

Oh, these eyes deceive the words I speak

Don't tell the story inside

Oh, don't believe the face you'll see

It's only the face of my pride

I'm not made of steel

I'm not made of stone

I can't be anything more than I'm made of

I can't do it all on my own

I'm only a man

Flesh and blood is all I am

You think I can carry the world on my shoulders

That don't mean that I can

I can bend, I can break, I can feel

I'm not made of steel

Oh, no

They teach you well to wear your armor

But what you've learned is just a lie

And there's a price to be paid for denying

With every tear you never cry

Oh, don't ever show

Don't let them know

The heart you never reveal

Don't ask me why

Don't make me hide

The pain you don't think I can feel

I'm not made of steel

I'm not made of stone

I can't be anything more than I'm made of

I can't do it all on my own

I'm only a man

Flesh and blood is all I am

You think I can carry the world on my shoulders

That don't mean that I can

I can bend, I can break, I can feel

I'm not made of steel

Oh, do not believe the face you'll see

It's only the face of my, only the face of my pride

I'm not made of steel

Not made of stone

I can't be anything more than I'm made of

Can't do it all on my own

Only a man

Flesh and blood is all I am

You think I can carry the world on my shoulders

That don't mean that I can

I'm not made of steel

I'm not made of stone

I'm not made of steel

I'm not made of stone
