lyrics

So here I go again on my own
I've done all that I can on this concrete road
So take me as I am
Take me as I go
I don't know who I am
And that's all I know

You can call a spade a spade
Sticks and stones with break my bones
But a man without a name
Is the freest man I know
But freedom has a price
Leaves you out in the cold
But keep your head up high
Only you will know

I've got my head up in the clouds
And my feet upon the ground
I'm the tallest man on earth
But I don't know what I'm worth
So I'll shrink myself in size
And use a different kind of eyes
To see the man I am
Is the smallest kind of man

I've been broke, no nickle and dime
All alone
I was broken all that time
With no soul
I'll take all that I can
There's a lot I owe
But failure's the heart of man
This I know

And the truth will set you free
But the truth is I'm afraid
To be all I can be
And still not make the grade
So take me as I am
A shadow with no shade
'Cause I know who I am
Just a lonely little spade
