lyrics

It's the nature of a man to search seek and find
Something he can hold something he can feel
It's instinctual to see even if the man is blind
He can tell if it's right 'cuz he knows what is real
He can travel 'round the world find himself with empty hands
He can dabble, never settle
In his mind he knows the truth, in his heart he feels the gold
Guiding forces all around, inner voices clearly sound

It's the nature of a man to search seek and find
Something he can hold something he can feel
It's instinctual to see even if the man is blind
He can tell if it's right 'cuz he knows what is real
He can travel 'round the world find himself with empty hands
He can dabble, never settle
In his mind he knows the truth, in his heart he feels the gold
Guiding forces all around, inner voices clearly sound
Never wants to hurt a soul, he was raised by a good woman
She remains the boy's hero
Zero tolerance for the shit that distracts the man, counteracts the plan
'Cuz he understands life is short, so he lives in the mo'
He goes back in the past wishing everything lasts
Never in a rush to get to tomorrow, 'cuz he needs more time to get over sorrow
Follows him around like an imaginary friend
But she is not a friend, she's a foe maybe coming with a lesson to learn
Never to burn, she sticks around, takes him through turns
But he still yearns for a small piece of the good life, a good wife
To make good loving through the day, through the night
His concern is providing for the people that need him
The people who feed him, the people who greet him
And he never stop believing in the vision he was given at a young age
Writing stories, turning pages, rocking stages, through the phases
Different places, many races, when he chases in amazement
And as the lights go down, the curtains close
He falls to his knees overwhelmed
'Cuz with all these people standing here
He still feels drowned in loneliness

It's the nature of a man to search seek and find
Something he can hold something he can feel
It's instinctual to see even if the man is blind
He can tell if it's right 'cuz he knows what is real
He can travel 'round the world find himself with empty hands
He can dabble, never settle
In his mind he knows the truth, in his heart he feels the gold
Guiding forces all around, inner voices clearly sound

I just wanna be a better man in this life, in this world
I just wanna be a better man in this life, in this world
