Lyrics[]
[Verse 1]
There's a man
Who plays the game of life so well
Ooh, there's such a man
His thoughts you can never tell
Ooh
[Pre-Chorus]
And it's just the way he thought it would be
'Cause the day has come for him to be free
Then he laughs, he kicks then rolls up his sleeves
I'm alive and I'm here forever
This is the man
And it's just the way he thought it would be
'Cause the day has come for him to be free
Then he laughs, he kicks then rolls up his sleeves
I'm alive and I'm here forever
This is the man
[Verse 2]
There's a man
Everybody thought they knew
Ooh, there's such a man
He's not like me and you
Ooh
[Chorus]
And it's just the way she thought it would be
As he says, something has happened to me
Then he laughs, he kicks and rolls up his sleeves
I'm alive and I'm here forever
This is the man
And it's just the way he thought it would be
'Cause the day has come for him to be free
Then he laughs as he smiles and rolls up his sleeves
I'm alive and I'm here forever
This is the man
[Guitar Solo]
[Verse 3]
Did you know
This man can do anything?
Ooh, there's such a man
I wish that we could bring, heh
Ooh
[Chorus]
And it's just the way he thought it would be
'Cause the day has come for him to be free
Then he laughs, he kicks then rolls up his sleeves
I'm alive and I'm here forever
This is the man
And it's just the way he thought it would be
'Cause the day has come for him to be free
Then he laughs, he kicks then rolls up his sleeves
I'm alive and I'm here forever (Woo!)
This is the man
[Outro]
This is the man (This is the man) (Ooh, yeah) (Ooh, yeah)
This is the man (This is the man)
This is the man
