I’ll be the one to take you home,
to ease your mind, and bleed for you,
When you’re down a note, and sail the stormy sea,
I’ll be there, I’ll be your man.
I’ll be the one you can leave behind,
and never look back to see if I cry,
I’ll be there for you – when all other man leave
I’ll be The One, I’ll be your man.
And I’ll be your Christ, and take all of your pain,
all of your fears, pay all of your debts,
And from the cross – I’ll pray for you
I’ll be the one, I’ll be your man.
I’ll be your eyes when the sun goes down,
the moonlight fades, and noght comes home,
my heart will burn to light your way,
I’ll be there, I’ll be your man.
I’ll be the one to take you across
burning flames and feel the stones
I’ll be your bridge from cradle to worse
your personal saint, I’ll be your man.
I’ll be the one you can leave behind,
and never look back to see if I cry,
I’ll be there for you – when all other man leave
I’ll be The One, I’ll be your man.
I saw you this morning.
You were moving so fast.
Can’t seem to loosen my grip
On the past.
And I miss you so much.
There’s no one in sight.
And we’re still making love
In My Secret Life.
I smile when I’m angry.
I cheat and I lie.
I do what I have to do
To get by.
But I know what is wrong,
And I know what is right.
And I’d die for the truth
In My Secret Life.
Hold on, hold on, my brother.
My sister, hold on tight.
I finally got my orders.
I’ll be marching through the morning,
Marching through the night,
Moving cross the borders
Of My Secret Life.
Looked through the paper.
Makes you want to cry.
Nobody cares if the people
Live or die.
And the dealer wants you thinking
That it’s either black or white.
Thank G-d it’s not that simple
In My Secret Life.
I bite my lip.
I buy what I’m told:
From the latest hit,
To the wisdom of old.
But I’m always alone.
And my heart is like ice.
And it’s crowded and cold
In My Secret Life.
