Lyrics Verified by Editorial Team
I am just a man, a man set apart
For a purpose greater, something way beyond myself
No, I am not the hero, I'm hardly a spark
But this is my confession, now the danger of myself
So I lift up this broken weary human side of me
I bruise, I bleed
I need a remedy
But in my weakness proves how great you are
The hurt, the scars
Remind us who we are
That our stories point the world to who you are
I speak words of love
And whisper words of hate
I've taken black and white
And somehow turned them into grey
Oh, I lift up this broken weary human side of me
I bruise, I bleed
I need a remedy
But in my weakness proves how great you are
The hurt, the scars
Remind us who we are
That our stories point the world to who you are
Who you are
No, I am not the hero
I'm human after all
But this is my surrender
My story and my song
I bruise, I bleed
I need a remedy
But in my weakness proves how great you are
The hurt, the scars
Remind us who we are
That our stories point the world to who you are
The stories point the world to who you are
