Ugly Man

Who am I

To the rabble and the wise

Am I just a young and shallow face that years erase

Am I more than that

Oh do they wonder how can I

Bring the world beneath this guise

In the silence of my languished soul

Lies a truth unknown

Oh yes I am

I am just an ugly man

Alone

I work no day with self deception

All that I am

Is one common grain of sand

But the sun does rise for every man alive

And how my heart is clear 'cause I have from what I do

And I do just what I am

Oh no man is born a starless sky 'neath his naked hide

Lord yes I am

Maybe I'm a lucky man
