my life is extraordinary bare
i fought the fear and chased the pain
my life doesn´t need to be explained
i chose to walk the line as one
sometimes i live upon my island
cut off from emotion and its pain
ohh, that´s when i am tempted by the waters
the waters that i can take me far away

so i´ll just keep on walking down this open road
hoping someone somewhere needs me
so i´ll just keep on walking down this open road
talking to the man who knows me
yes he knows me, the man is me

my life was once full of people´s faces
brought to me by love which isn´t strange
oh my life had the goodness of blue waters
a day´s a day for all i used to say
sometimes i can sit and cry my heart out
drowning in my autocratic ways
oh, that´s when i am tempted by the waters
waters that can take me far away
so i´ll just keep on walking down this open road
hoping someone somewhere needs me
so i´ll just keep on walking down this open road
talking to the man who knows me
yes he knows me, the man is me

my life is now full of people´s faces
within the light of change i pulled away
my life shows that no man is an island
i´ve exchanged the piece of life i cut away
now you won´t see me alking down that open road
i´ve found someone now who needs me
no you won´t see me walking down that open road
i´ve found at last the man who knows me
yes he knows me and the man was me
the man was me
