Oh this man he wakes up in the morning Don't know where His eyes do squint The sun does glare Stands up yawns Does stretch his limbs Turns his face to the sun And begins to sing Seen many places Done many things I've been drinking from the earth I've see the world from within Had my share of women And I've had my share of fights I've been searching for the moon I've seen some long, long nights Shook too many hands And I made too many bets My friends are all gypsies And I laughed before I wept I learnt how to live when I saw that sunrise And now I sing this song about looking on my life
Chorus:
Some say you should try to be rich man Some they say you should be number one But my wealth will be inside And will grow under the sun (2x)
After hearing this song I feel some warmth on my face I look into the sky And start to feel a sense of place This mans song means something to me My eyes they do open And I sing this melody Might write some mystery Might read some text Might create a family This world I might affect Might be a wise man Might be a fool Be conquering like a tiger Or suffer like a mule Might learn too late But might drift in sleep Might learn how to hide my thoughts And promises to keep All these things my life might see And now I be singing about how my life might be and
Chorus (2x)
After hearing this song I feel some warmth on my face I look into the sky and start to feel a sense of place This mans song means something to me My eyes do open and I sing this melody Might write some mystery Might read some text Might create a family This world I might affect Might be a wise man Might be a fool Be conquering like a tiger Or suffer like a mule Might learn too late But might drift in sleep Might learn how to hide my thoughts And promises to keep All these things my life might see And now I be singing about how my life might be and
