Gentle Man

I say I'm just a gentle man
'Cause that's the way I seem to be
And I know I have the feelings of a man
'Cause sometimes they bring me misery
I want to jump and feel the cosmic force
But I have to follow time on its crooked course
So I struggle to eat and making meat and run

And I like to see humility
'Cause it's a good way to be, I know
But for people to listen, you've got to be loud
To be heard above the big ego
The humble man is one on who the people depend
But the proud may stand between them and the wind
And they don't have to face cold nature's embrace
And they run

So I see how the world is now
And I just have one thing to say
There ain't no place for a gentle man
But I wish it really wasn't that way
You have to fight for love just to be a man
But killing over love is what I don't understand
I wanna follow my feelings
In this we must, in God we trust

And I like to see humility
'Cause it's a good way to be
I wanna tell you people
In this we must, yeah
In God we trust
