A Mans Heart by Eric Clayton Lyrics

To seek asylum
In perfect light
To stare into violence
To fear for your life
To lay down or fight?

To love a man’s heart
When he gives into violence and rage
To know a man’s soul
When the scars are all over his face
In the place of redemption and grace
To love him just the same…

To run from danger
To bleed and to fear
To hide from the stranger
When the monster appears
Can you hold back the tears?

To love a man’s heart
When it lives in the language of hate
To hold a man’s soul
In the palm of your hand as he breaks
Forgive him for all that he takes
To love him just the same…
All of our paths have been chosen
And all of our lives set in motion
And all of our dreams and devotions
And all of our hearts have been broken
And all of our words have been spoken

In the name of the father, the son, and
The broken ones… As they break the same
In the name of the Father, the son, and
The hollow one… As she breaks away…

To face the stranger
To give him a name
To walk in the footsteps of anger
To live with a lifetime of shame…

Can you find a way?
