To be a Better Man....

Ever since I heard this song in the early 2000's, I have always took the title of the song to the heart. In a way, the the title of the song is like a north star - something I felt we all can aim/strive for. Personally, that is how I took this song or the title of this song.

During moments that have shaken me ad I felt hurt/pain, more than what I would like to reveal or accept, I really go weak. And, being truthful to myself, I look to acknowledge the moment and strive to be a better man....

Lyrics

Send someone to love me
I need to rest in arms
Keep me safe from harm
In pouring rain

Give me endless summer
Lord I fear the cold
Feel I'm getting old
Before my time

As my soul heals the shame
I will grow through this pain
Lord I'm doing all I can
To be a better man

Go easy on my concious
'Cause it's not my fault
I know I've been taught
To take the blame

Rest assured my angels
Will catch my tears
Walk me out of here
I'm in pain

As my soul heals through the shame
I will grow through this pain
Lord I'm doing all I can
To be a better man

Once you've found that lover
You're homeward bound
Love is all around
Love is all around

I know some have fallen
On stony ground
But love is all around

Send someone to love me
I need to rest in arms
Keep me safe from harm
In pouring rain

Give me endless summer
Lord I fear the cold
Feel I'm getting old
Before my time

As my soul heals the shame
I will grow through this pain
Lord I'm doin' all I can
To be a better man
