NOW I CAN BE A MAN THAT I LWAYS WANTED TO BE
I see my celebrated name in marquee lights all over the town
Glorifying accomplishments has made me very well-known
Darling I have been of the millions of fans all over the world
Matinee idol of all time like a living legend with touch of gold
Lived I have life of lies from dawn to dusk tortured with secrets
Hiding behind dark glasses hiding from people and life's tenets
Afraid of loosing my stature in world if I reveal my dark side
Going I am the distance wearing masks \taking the glamour ride
Slumping is my heart with weight of the dark secrets hidden
And tired I have become over the years carrying the burden
Trekking on life's highways on fancy wheels of primetime of wonder
Gleaming in light of success looking for new challenges to conquer
Honored as one of a kind built I have a ivory tower to live in comfort
Gazed by others as a luminous star showered on by love of their heart
Lived I have life of lies -----------
Slumping is my heart with weight of the secrets hidden
Tired I have become over the time carrying the burden
Time has come now to face the facts bitter as it may be
Now I can be a man that I always wanted to be, just free
All the neon lights have been turned off for ever now
Living I am now alone with shredded soul with no love
Surrounded by darkness yearning for some guiding light
Looking everywhere for some peace day and night
Time has come now to face the facts bitter as it may be
Now I can be a man that I always wanted to be, just free
