Mortal Man

Mortal Man

I rolled out of bed today.
My bones achin again today.
There was a time.. yes, there was time.
when my bones where like stones
I remember what seems like so long ago.
A time when I was invincible.
It just seems so long ago.

Today there are shades of gray.
A few wrinkles around the edges too.
Honey it is clear to see that I ain’t what I used to be.
I am just a man.
A mortal man.
Time is moving on and I am slowing down.

Don’t you worry baby cause I am still your hero.
When you call out for help.
I will answer the call before you fall.
For you I am invincible.
I would sacrifice it all.
Even now that I know
I am just A mortal man.

A man whos bones break.
A man who bleeds.
I have my faults too.
You know this is true.

I never had any doubts about myself.
No they are a creeping in to me.
Messing with my memories.
Times that seemed like yesterday.
Have begun to fade away.

Now I am looking back at my life.
I realize that it is more than half.
I am more than half towards an ending.
I am just a mortal man.

But for you baby.
I am willing to be the hero.
Sacrifice it all to stop your fall.
Just give me a little notice.
So I can stretch my bones
and make the save.

I am just a mortal man.
Mortal in every damn way.
