Don’t know why I feel the way I do it seems as if

All my best-laid plans are fallin’ through

Now I realize I’m only just a man

With a little time and his two hands

I look into my heart and all I see

Are the tattered ideas in which I once believed

      But it seems I’ve outgrown them all

      And I’m standing here all alone

      And I need to know that someone’s on my side

            If you believe in me I’ll find the strength I need

            To make myself into a self-made man

            If you believe I’ll get back on my feet

            And show you just how good a man I am
