The Man I've Gotta Be

I'm trying to write a brand new story
Looking for the truth inside the pouring rain
I'm trying to keep my heart from aging
Looking for some shelter from the raging storm

But I don't know what I must do
Oh, can't you see I'm lost?
I'm covered by the blinding darkness
Searching for the light to guide my way

Mother told me: "If you dream it, you can make it darling"
So spread your wings and fly up high into the sky
Take my hand and let's go gently into the light
And write the pages of your life

There's just no truth in running
Yeah, I can see it crystal clear
Now I know the world keeps turning
It's telling me there's nothing left to fear

Oh, mother, guide my way
And take me to light land

A place you can go when you're broken
A beam of hope to guide you till the end

Mother told me: "If you dream it, you can make it darling"
So spread your wings and fly up high into the sky
Take my hand and let's go gently into the light
And write the pages of your life

Now I know what I must do
To be the man I want
Now I know, now I see
The man I've gotta be

Mother told me: "If you dream it, you can make it darling"
So spread your wings and fly up high and touch the sky
Take my hand and let's go straight into the light
And write the pages
Let's write the pages of our lives

I'm trying to write a brand new story
Looking for the truth inside the pouring rain
