lyrics

VERSE 1:

I feel I know
Coming home
The reasuring hand
Of the man who should have been

The guide who shines so bright
Holding off the night

I almost see
The door is open
And welcoming
To the man who should have been

The angel we most trust
When all the world seems lost
And leaves us searching
For the man who should have been

CHORUS:

There’s a hero hiding inside you
Helps you go through all the things you do
If you doubt what you have seen, oh
Then listen to the man who should have been

VERSE 2:

And Where is he
When we need him most
The footsteps in the sand
Of the Man who should have been

The one we know we must
Try to find in us
So hold him in your mind
The Man who should have been

CHORUS:

There’s a hero hiding inside you
Helps you go through all the things you do
If you doubt what you have seen, oh
Then listen to the man who should have been

There’s a monster there inside you too
Which one grows is down to who you feed
When nothing is the way it seems, oh Lord!
Listen to the man who should have been
Listen to the man who should have been

about

Ian Luckett (Data) Birmingham, UK

No autotune - EVER!

You may notice I use lots of harmonies in vocal overdubs, but it is always just my voice with maybe some echo and a little bit of reverb!!!!!
