MARK WEIGLE GOOD MAN LYRICS

 
Today as I was walking up the street/

I stepped over a man, I thought was asleep/

But I heard a voice from beneath my feet/

He said to me...

How am I supposed to be a good man

When you decide just what it is that means

How am I supposed to be a strong man

When you've long since decided that I'm weak

I remember mother's boy and teacher's pet

And the lessons I was taught

Used to be I'd love to sit for hours and dream

Now I wish that I could stop

How am I supposed to be a proud man

When pride just makes it harder to survive

How am I supposed to be a rich man

When poison is all my money buys

I remember mother's boy and teacher's pet

Tripping mines and dodging bombs

Used to be I'd love to sit for hours and dream

Now I wish that I could stop

How am I supposed to be a young man

When I'm certain that I died long ago

How am I supposed to be a dead man

When my body won't surrender up my ghost
