Be A Man
DJ Satomi Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Time's not enough to be a man
I don't expect that you could understand
I feel the infinity inside of me
The sense to be a man is in the future
Time's not enough to be a man
I don't expect that you could understand
I know what will come, what will come
One day the earth will rise and show the depths
I jealously concealed with my regrets




So I'll begin to fall into the dark
The moment that I start to see the light
