I'M A MAN
KUWATA BAND Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Surrounded by the fog and haze
A one eyed man
came up to me and said
Hey what's your name
I never imagined anyone like him
Wanted to ask him,
all about his home
I could hear from within
He said he came to visit
From another space and time
But that his mission here
Was not for anyone to find
He said to tell no one,
anything of him
He kept on asking,
all about my life
Then he told me
he'd never seen one like me
I'm a man......
from the planet earth
I'm a man......
show you what it's worth
Before I knew it
We were walking on a purple beam
It seemed as though
it wasn't something
He had never seen
I felt that
I would go anywhere he went
Try to understand
anything he said
Then he asked me
to tell him again
What I am... I'm a man......
from the planet earth
I'm a man......
show you what it's worth
He told me
not to be anybody's fool
'Cause what he showed me
Was better not taught
in school...
As he turned and
he said good-bye
I heared him cry
I'm a man......
from the planet earth
I'm a man......
show you what it's worth
I'm a man......
from the planet earth
I'm a man......
show you what it's worth

Was standing in a field
I found myself in an open space
Surrounded by the fog and haze
The weather was misty and unclear
A one eyed man came up to me and said
An individual missing an eye approached me and spoke
Hey what's your name
He asked for my identity
I never imagined anyone like him
I was surprised by his appearance
Wanted to ask him, all about his home
I was interested in knowing where he came from
Though he spoke with no words, I could hear from within
Although he didn't talk, I could understand him intuitively
He said he came to visit from another space and time
He claimed to be a visitor from another dimension
But that his mission here was not for anyone to find
He suggested that he had a secret purpose for his visit
He said to tell no one, anything of him
He instructed me not to reveal anything about him to others
He kept on asking, all about my life
He was curious about my personal experiences
Then he told me he'd never seen one like me
He expressed amazement at my unique traits
I'm a man......from the planet earth
I'm a human being from Earth
I'm a man......show you what it's worth
I have value and significance
Before I knew it, we were walking on a purple beam
Suddenly, we found ourselves traveling on a strange path
It seemed as though it wasn't something he had never seen
He acted as if it was a common occurrence for him
I felt that I would go anywhere he went
I was willing to follow him anywhere
Try to understand anything he said
I attempted to comprehend his words
He asked me to tell him again what I am...
He requested that I repeat my self-identification
He told me not to be anybody's fool
He warned me against being naive
Cause what he showed me was better not taught in school...
He implied that his teachings were unconventional
As he turned and he said good-bye
He bid farewell as he departed
I heard him cry
I perceived him shedding tears
I'm a man......from the planet earth
I'm a human being from Earth
I'm a man......show you what it's worth
I have value and significance
I'm a man......from the planet earth
I'm a human being from Earth
I'm a man......show you what it's worth
I have value and significance
