The Man I'm Meant to Be
Tim Gates Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I can′t see
The ending
Where it all beings

I, was born to run
To become
Who I've always been
And I question
And I don′t know what to do
He's the light that's always pointing me true

′Cause I′ve got the fires of faith
With every step I take
He's telling me everything need′s inside of me

Somewhere in my soul
I got a heart of gold
Betting with hope and I can feel him show me
The man I'm ment to be
The man I′m ment to be

The road I'm on
Is long
But I never give up

′Cause every turn
I learn
There's more to me with his love

In the times of doubt when I don't understand
He always gives me glimpses of who I really am

′Cause I′ve got the fires of faith
With every step I take
He's telling me everything need′s inside of me

Somewhere in my soul
I got a heart of gold
Betting with hope and I can feel him show me
The man I'm ment to be

′Cause I've got the fires of faith
With every step I take
He′s telling me everything need's inside of me

Somewhere in my soul
I got a heart of gold
Betting with hope and I can feel him show me
The man I'm ment to be




The man I′m ment to be
The man I′m ment to be
