Freshlyground - I Am the Man Lyrics

One, two, three, four

I am the man to reach across this frightened land
And bring it glory (Yeah)
Show me the man to reach across your tightened hand
And tell your story (Eh yeah)

Peace is the name, he said
My friend, I'll show you places
You have never been

Oh, look in my eyes, he said, my friend
Is there a face
You have never seen?

Because, even though the rain has come
The dusty traces still remain on ancient faces
Even though the rain has come
The ancient still embrace the sun (Yeah)

I am the man to reach across this frightened land
And bring it glory (Yeah)
Now show me the man to reach across your tightened hand
And tell your story

Because, even though the rain has come
The dusty traces still remain on ancient faces
Even though the rain has come
The ancient still embrace the sun
