You gave me a hand to comfort, but a fist was all I could make,
You gave me a hand for giving, but all I could do was take,
You gave me feet for walking, but I never took a step,
A heart to love, but I just couldn't open it up.
I'm just a man, alone where I stand,
Listen to me, I am calling,
I'm just a man, alone where I stand,
Listen to me, I am calling, calling.
You gave me my eyes, but I just didn't dare to see,
You gave me a voice to speak, but "yes" became a "no" in me,
You gave me feelings to share, but I kept on playing games,
Wanted so much to please you, but all I felt was shame.
I'm just a man, I know where I stand,
Listen to me, I am calling,
I'm just a man, I know where I stand,
Listen to me, I am calling, calling.
I'm just a man, I know where I stand,
Listen to me, I am calling,
I'm just a man, I know where I stand,
Listen to me, I am calling,
I'm just a man, alone where I stand,
Listen to me, I am calling,
I'm just a man, I know where I stand,
Listen to me, I am calling, calling.
