I look into your eyes and I Think back to the son of mine You're as old as he was When I left for war Will these actions haunt my days? Every man I've slain Is the price I pay, endless pain Close your eyes And spare yourself the view How could I hurt you? I'm just a man Who's tryin' to go home Even after all the years away from what I've known I'm just a man Who's fighting for his life Deep down I would trade the world to see my son and wife I'm just a man But when does a comet become a meteor? When does a candle become a blaze? When does a man become a monster? When does a ripple become a tidal wave? When does the reason become the blame? When does a man become a monster? (When does a comet become a meteor?) (When does a candle become a blaze?) Forgive me (When does a man become a monster?) Forgive me (When does a man become a monster?) Forgive me I'm just a man
