• I am only a man
    I wonder if that's true
    I hear the words of praise yet
    I see the sin on my name
    I want to be free from this guilt, but
    I am only a man

    I pretend that I was with her
    I feel the pain in my heart
    I touch my chest and feel my life wither
    I worry about my earthly part, but
    I am only a man

    I understand my soul is at risk
    I say the redeeming words through my death kiss
    I dream of a glorious redemption
    I try to grasp the words that flutter off my lips
    I hope I only said them right, even though
    I am only a man
