I look into your eyes
and I
think back to the son
of mine
You're as old
as he was
when I left for war
Will these actions
haunt my days
Every man I've slain
is the price
I pay endless pain
Close your eyes and
spare yourself the view
How could I hurt you
I'm just a man
who's trying to go home
even after all
the years away
from what I've known
I'm just a man
who's fighting
for his life
Deep down I would
trade the world
to see my son and wife
I'm just a man
But when
does a comet
become a meteor
When does a candle
become a blaze
When does a man
become a monster
When does a ripple
become a tidal wave
When does the reason
become the blame
When does a man
become a monster
Forgive me
Forgive me
Forgive me
I'm just a man
