I'm Just a Man


I'm just a man he cries

With the weight of the world we see deep in his eyes

 

He fights for ffreedom and his lonely wife

He keeps on fighting just to keep his life

 

He's killed men that were sick and derranged

He worried the sleepless nights might drive him insane

 

He fights for his country, his pride is true

He's a jarhead government issue

 

He sighned up and for an M16

He a hero to all a U.S. Marine

 

He's a hero overseas in another land

But he still always says Im just a man
