Lyrics

My life, is extraordinairy bare, I fought the fear and chased the pain
My life, doesn't need to be explained, I chose to walk the line as one
Sometimes, as I live upon my island, cut off from emotion and its pain
That's when, I am tempted by the waters, waters that can take me far away

Chorus
So I just keep on walking down this open road
Hoping someone, somewhere needs me
So I just keep on walking down this open road
Talking to the man who knows me
Yes he knows me, the man is me

My life, was once full of people's faces, bought to me by love, which isn't strange
My life, had the goodness of blue waters, a day's a day for all I used to say
Sometimes, I can sit and cry my heart out, drowning in my autocratic ways
That's when, I am tempted by the waters, waters that can take me far away

Repeat chorus

My life, is now full of people's faces, within the light of change I pulled away
My life, shows that no man is an island
I've exchanhed the piece of life, I couldn't wait
Now you won't see me walking down that open road
I've found someone now who needs me
No, you won't see me walking down that open road
I've found at last the man who knows me
Yes, he knows me and the man is me, and the man is me, the man is me
