I'm A Man (Haesler/Evans)

Music by Paul Haesler and Martin Evans

Words by Paul Haesler

Written January 1994

Sung by Paul with harmony vocals from Brett and Wok.

Crawled out of the seas
Climbed down from the trees
On just two legs I stand
A thumb upon my hand
Two eyes, two ears, two hands, two feet and one brain, I'm a man.

Communication, speech
Investigation, teach
Master of the land
Tools at my command
Fire, the wheel and other things I feel I've come to understand.

CHORUS:: Science and Art,
Knowing, Learning, Teaching, Sharing,
Mind and Heart
Burn brightly, I'm a man.
I'm a man.
I'm a man.
I am.

I describe reality
Subjectively
I try to look around
To find out what goes down
With just five senses, maybe six, but mainly sight and sound.

REPEAT CHORUS:

There's a beast inside me
Trying to break free
I control it with my mind
Most of the time
Just like I bend the world or anything else to fit with my design.

REPEAT CHORUS.
