The Man I Am Songtext
von Mark Erelli

They say no man is an island
This world ain′t no place to be on your own
I was set in my ways before I met you
What made me think I could make it alone
Like the river brings the mountain to the ocean
Like the waves break the rock down into sand
You loved me, loved me, you loved me into the man I am


Like a sculpture trapped inside a stone
Like a canvas awaiting its masterpiece
Like a song that needs, needs to be written
You came along, you set me free
Now, some say that a song can't change the world
But thanks to you, I′m living proof that it can
'Cause you loved me, loved me, you loved me into the man I am
Oh honey, yes you did

And I don't pretend to understand it, no
I′m just thankful for the way that it feels
It′s a mystery what you did to me
But I know in my soul that it's real

As the dawn after the darkness
As the stone that was rolled away
Everyday feels like a new beginning
One I don′t intend, I don't intend to waste
Now no longer will I wander in the wilderness
Since you reached out and took hold of my hand
And loved me, loved me, you loved me into the man I am

Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh
Oh, you loved me, loved me, you loved me into the man I am
