art of listening

i'm courageous but i'm weak sometimes

outrageous but i don't often show that side

i can be selfish but i can be a saint sometimes

you make me feel like i'm bigger than who i am

i can see everything but mostly i'm blind

i'm a sinner but sometimes i shine

i'm just a man but sometimes i feel like a lion

you make me feel like i'm bigger than who i am

when you're near. i hear you. i want to hold you up

when you feel you can't go any longer

i'll help you get back up when you feel you

can't get any stronger

don't be frightened when

you hear the rising distant thunder

don't be hiding

i'm a coward but a hero in a good fight

i can be confused but watch if i know i'm right

sometimes i can get so close

but sometimes i'm right out of sight

you make me feel like i'm bigger than who i am

sometimes stupid

but sometimes i'm pretty damned bright

i can get real moody but i'm okay on a good night

and when the fog rolls in

you make it roll back again

when you're near

you can be an angel

you can be pretty wild

you can be a strong woman

or sometimes just like a child

so aloof and proud

or you can scream real loud

make you feel like i'm bigger than who i am

when you're near

i hear you

come see me come on

come on

come on

come on out

i hear you

come on

come on

come on

come on out

i want to hold you up when you feel

you can't go any longer

i'll help you get back up when you feel

you can't get any stronger

when you hear the lightning and the distant thunder

don't be hiding
