I don’t pretend to have the answer
Never said I had the key
But somehow they see a light inside of me
Am I not the man who I was meant to be?
As the people gather ‘round me
I never felt so all alone
Is this the chance to be someone?
My moment in the sun
Why am I afraid of facing the unknown?
They are finding faith in me and they believe I’m the one to set them free
Wow...Yes, the Cd IS Astonishing! I LOVE It. After the opening three songs and right after The gift of music is this Gem. I think I hit the rewind button 5 times before moving on. This is simply stunning. Simple yet complex. Brilliant. I've been a fan since 1989 when I first heard WDADU. The CD gets better with every listen. I have my tix for their show in Wallingford Ct. in April and I can't wait to see and hear them perform The Astonishing live! Well done guys!
Lyrics.
I don't pretend to have the answer
Never said I have the key
But somehow they see, a light inside of me
Am I not the man who I was meant to be?
As the people gather round me
I never felt so all alone
Is this the chance to be someone
My moment in the sun
Why am I afraid of facing the unknown?
They are finding faith in me
And they believe
I'm the one
To set them free
These two minutes of this little track are one of the best moments on the record! So much is said here yet 2 minutes does not even seem short. This track does what it is meant to do. And its beautiful...
