Ugly Man

Who am I to the rabble and the wise
Am I just a young and shallow face that years erase
Am I more than that, oh, do they wonder how can I
Bring the world beneath this guise
In the silence of my languished soul lies a truth unknown
Oh yes, I am, I am just an ugly man alone

I work no day with self deception
All that I am is one common grain of sand
But the sun does rise for every man alive
And how my heart is clear 'cause I have from what I do
And I do just what I am

Oh no, man is born a starless sky 'neath his naked hide
Lord, yes I am maybe I'm a lucky man inside
