Son of man

Ben adam, his heart beats like a drum
The son of man has lost his way
Ben adam, afraid of what's to come
He has to live his life from day to day
 
A man is just a man and all his days are nights
A man is just a man, he stumbles and he fights
So let him keep his dreams and give him light and air
Give him time, give him love
Give him hope when he's despaired
 
Do not be too harsh for he is weak and vain
And do not rush to judge him in his burning pain
For a man is a man is a man
He's just a man
 
Ben adam, his heart is cold and numb
The son of man is still alive
Ben adam, his days are short and glum
A fleeting shadow trying to survive
 
A man is just a man and all his days are nights
A man is just a man, he stumbles and he fights
So let him keep his dreams and give him light and air
Give him time, give him love
Give him hope when he's despaired
 
Do not be too harsh for he is weak and vain
And do not rush to judge him in his burning pain
For a man is a man is a man
He's just a man
 
The son of man is hopeless
He's always doing harm
He keeps forgetting that his time will come
 
For a man is just a man and all his days are nights
A man is just a man, he stumbles and he fights
So let him keep his dreams and give him light and air
Give him time, give him love
Give him hope when he's despaired
 
Do not be too harsh for he is weak and vain
And do not rush to judge him in his burning pain
For a man is a man is a man
He's just a man
 
Lalalala lalalala lai la lai...
Lalalalala lalala lai la lai...
Lalalala lalalala lai la lai...
Lala lai... lala lai... lalalala lalala...
 
Lalalala lalalala lai la lai...
Lalalala lalalala lai la lai...
For a man is a man is a man
He's just a man
