I look into your eyes and I

Think back to the son of mine

You′re as old as he wasWhen I left for war

Will these actions haunt my days?

Every man I've slain

Is the price I pay, endless pain

Close your eyes

And spare yourself the view

How could I hurt you?

I′m just a man

Whose trying to go home

Even after all the years away from what I've known

I'm just a man

Whose fighting for his life

Deep down I would trade the world to see my son and wife

I′m just a man

But when does a comet become a meteor?

When does a candle become a blaze?

When does a man become a monster?

When does a ripple become a tidal wave?

When does the reason become the blame?

When does a man become a monster?

(When does a comet become a meteor?)

(When does a candle become a blaze?)

Forgive me

(When does a man become a monster?)

Forgive me

(When does a man become a monster?)

Forgive me

I′m just a man
