we are living on borrowed time
we all have hopes and dreams
our future is fading rapidly
only a few will see
life is not always what it seems
even the best will fall
why does the past bring us to see
we are in such great need

what do you want from me
even the best can see
my life is better now

one man to take care of us
one man who is big enough
one man who sees every hurt
one man who can change the earth
one man who takes all the pain
of everyone who calls his name
one man, one man, one man!

we all want more than what we need
we want to win the race
people are falling far behind
aren’t we the chosen kind
broken souls who can’t keep pace
longing to find their way
looking for someone who can lead
a lonely world in need

what do you want from me
even the best can see
my life is better now

what do you want from me
even the best can see
my life is better now

what do i have to do
i’m trying to reach for you
i want you to know this man!
