"JUST A MAN" by David Guilbault

You say that I’m your angel.
Well I wouldn’t count on my wings,
To take you off to heaven,
Or to bring you anything.
You say that I’m your savior.
Well I’ve got my own cross to bear.
I’m Just a man, just a man, just a man, who's there.

You say that I’m your hero.
Well I wouldn’t count on my strength,
To come to your rescue,
Or to save you from anything.
You say that I’m your white knight.
Well, my armor’s pierced and worn.
I’m Just a man, just a man, just a man, that’s all.

Well, darling I’m no angel.
If I was I’d fill your life with grace.
And baby, I’m no hero.
If I was I’d take you from this place.
I’m sure no savior.
Got no holy name to call.
I’m Just a man, just a man, just a man, that’s all.

But just this man can hold you
And make you feel safe in his arms.
And just this man can love you
For all the special things you are.
And just this man can be there
When you need him in your life.
I’m just the man, just the man, just the man, who's right.
