I am a man
squishing cans
that filled with beer,
now fill my belly, fill me with fear
of the future, my wife
not holding me dear but I miss out
on this feeling squishing my can because I am
a MAN!
I don't have any feelings except for spinning ceilings and I like it that way
so I don't have to pay attention to things
that I don't like
my little tyke running around
on his hands and knees in the sand playing dad with
his trucks in his hands building mountains of bland nods from me
and squish goes the can because I am a man.
Jesus could take this cup from my hand and pour
it with water but I don't like him!
He doesn't like me I'm too filled with sin and I don't understand
anyway the Bible is rot and I forgot how to love so it's over,
it's done,
I'd rather have fun with my beer and my hand and
some ladies on the screen trying hard to be seen by a
dad just like me
who would rather squish cans and
listen to bands scream about woes and leather
and things the second time Sports Net comes on
I run away home to my bed
where my wife sleeps
alone because I
thought first of myself
not even my son,
who needs me to love him -
but how do I love when just love's not enough?
Living water! they say it but sure don't portray it and I'm scared
of a life where I don't have my vices to pull me away
every hour, every day, should I need them!
Ah, too sad,
hard and sad to be a man without hope,
without life,
though a son and a wife
maybe all I ever wanted,
though didn't know what we needed and Jesus
preceded to show me the way
but I don't know that way and I don't even know
what I don't know anymore
I don't know what I'm for but I slip slowly to sleep
a taste of beer on my tongue and no love on my lips
though a woman sleeps soundly and
profoundly I dream about nothing but stupor...
a man needs a love and a man needs some help
but pride is on the shelf and he is not a man
while he's blind to the First who was last.
So get up out of bed and turn off the TV.
Shut down your laptop,
are you listening to me?
Presence is important in life and in mind
find help if you need it and try to be kind to
the children who love you and the wife
who lies next to you each night
she's given her life to be by your side.
It's fine. You're a man. You can do this.
