Medley: Where's the Show - Let Me Be a Man Songtext
von Willie Nelson

You do know why you′re here
Yes, there's a great confusion on Earth
And the power that is has concluded the following
Perfect man has visited Earth already and his voice was heard
The voice of imperfect man must now be made manifest
And I have been selected as the most likely candidate
Yes. The time is April, therefore you a task must go
To be born under the same sign twice at strength
And this strength combined with wisdom and love is the key

Explain again to me Lord when I′m here
I don't know, I don't know
The setting for the stage is still not clear
Where′s the show, where′s the show?
Let it begin, let it begin
I'm born, can you use me?


What would you have me to do, Lord?
Shall I sing them a song?
I could tell them all about you, Lord
I could write of the loves I have known

I′ll work in their cotton and cornfields
I promise to do all I can
I'll laugh and I′ll cry, I'll live and I′ll die
Please Lord, let me be a man

Dear Lord, let me be a man
And I'll give it all that I can
If I'm needed in this distant land
Please Lord, let me be a man

Before I begin this level of journeying
Portraying most typical man
Last minute instructions would surely be welcome
Please Lord, let me hold to your hand

Dear Lord, let me be a man
And I′ll give it all that I can
If I′m needed in this distant land
Please Lord, let me be a man
