Elton John - Man lyrics

Music by elton john<br>Lyrics by bernie taupin<br>Available on the album made in england<br><br>Man stands in all his glory<br>Sitting at the crossroads of the same old story<br>Man got his make-up, wears it like a mask<br>Hides inside a child, lives inside a glass<br>Man breathes his own deceit<br>Man worships his own defeat<br><br>Oh I'm a man, I know what it feels like<br>I'm a man, working on the living part of life<br>You see through me, I understand<br>But don't lose hope if you can<br>Have a little faith in man<br><br>Shakespeare's men got all the lines<br>Modern man lives back in time<br>Man got bravado in his big steel hands<br>Runs with the wolf, sleeps with the lamb<br>Man falls, cuts and bleeds<br>Man stumbles on his own belief<br><br>He's the hoax behind the thrill<br>The poison arrow, the bitter pill<br>Hard to swallow, hard to kill, hard to understand<br>He's the light behind the hill<br>The broken promise, the iron will<br>Hard to kill, hard to understand
