| TYPICAL GUY By Eric James |
| I never asked you what you thought of me I never asked you if you agree Like your body is shifting in its hour glass Like time has shut down, cutting you in half And sometimes, in search of something new I say "God gave this to me, and God gave this to you But what if I don't believe in your God's form of peace I think it's more important for us to be free Cause I am not your TYPICAL GUY I'd put the world down in an instant Than to just lie down & die Cause when all you see is anger You gotta look behind the eyes No, this is not the earth I want to live But this is all I'm offered, this is all I can give & If you don't like the tone of my story You can just move on with your war for glory Cause tonight I live my life true & free & No army can protect you & no government can stop me Cause I am not your TYPICAL GUY I'd lay my life down in an instant Just to know that you can cry Cause all we see is anger You gotta look behind these eyes Cause there's a thousand shades in every land There's a different book for every right hand Why is it so hard for everyone to see That what is right for you might not be right for me Cause at the end of time when our worlds collide I will spring forth from the other side Knowing I got to look behind the eyes Behind the eyes Copyright Eric James, 2002 |
