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?
When does a comet become a meteor?
When does a candle become a blaze? Forgive me
When does a man become a monster? Forgive me
When does a man become a monster? Forgive me
I'm just a man
