Art Of Listening

I'm courageous but I'm weak sometimes
Outrageous but I don't often show that side
I can be selfish but I can be a saint sometimes
You make me feel like I'm bigger than who I am

I can see everything but mostly I'm blind
I'm a sinner but sometimes I shine
I'm just a man but sometimes I feel like a lion
You make me feel like I'm bigger than who I am
When you're near

I hear you, I want to hold you up
When you feel you can't go any longer
I'll help you get back up

When you feel you can't get any stronger
Don't be frightened
When you hear the rising distant thunder
Don't be hiding

I'm a coward but a hero in a good fight
I can be confused but watch if I know I'm right
Sometimes I can get so close
But sometimes I'm right out of sight
You make me feel like I'm bigger than who I am

Sometimes stupid
But sometimes I'm pretty damned bright
I can get real moody but I'm okay on a good night
And when the fog rolls in
You make it roll back again when you're near

You can be an angel
You can be pretty wild
You can be a strong woman
Or sometimes just like a child

So aloof and proud
Or you can scream real loud
Make you feel like
I'm bigger than who I am when you're near

I hear you, come see me
Come on, come on, come on, come on out
I hear you, come on, come on
Come on, come on out

I want to hold you up
When you feel you can't go any longer
I'll help you get back up
When you feel you can't get any stronger

When you hear the lightning
And the distant thunder
Don't be hiding
