The Man I Want to Be

Could you wait a year or two
Overlook the things I do
Try to understand a much too simple man
So please hold on another day
Would you light and show the way
Hold fast patiently as I revise my plan

You’re my shining light
In the dark of night
Give me strength to fight myself

When hope is fading
From endless waiting
Have faith someday you will see
The man I want to be

Give me your thoughts, give me your words
Give me a sign you’re not deterred
The load is all on me but I can soldier on
Under a still and moonlit sky
The winter wind is whipping by
And thoughts of you will carry me until the dawn

You’re my shining light
In the dark of night
Give me strength to fight myself

When hope is fading
From endless waiting
Have faith someday you will see
The man I want to be
