I Am Just A Man
I am just a man,
Mere mortal,
Not a Saint.
If it's perfect you want,
Well it's perfect I ain't.
Our lives' are just beginning,
In the twilight years of life,
On a journey never ending,
On our pathway free from strife.
I am just a man,
I see things black or white,
I may never be wrong,
But I'm not always right.
Our lives are like a puzzle,
We're both pieces of the game,
Together we are whole,
With neither piece the same.
I am just a man,
Mere mortal,
Not a Saint,
If it's perfect I ain’t
