I Was Born To be Your Man   |    11/11/13   |  Song # 477

From Spark & Flame CD

I was born to be your man
And you don’t seem to understand
That it’s not a choice you make
It’s a path with heart you take

We’ve all got stories that we tell
We rehearse them very well
If you have a heart it breaks
But it’s never a mistake

Most people limp along with fakes
They think that that is what it takes
They refuse to realize
That every love will die

We’re all running out of time
You could have a bit of mine
It’s up to you to change your mind
No more double binds

You inspired me to love
In the dream we’re both made of
To become more than I was
To become more than I am

I was born to be your man
It’s all part of some huge plan
Which is not ours to command
So let all certainty be damned

I was born to carry you
On my back if I have to
Across the bridge of what is true
Where love dies to be renewed

I was born to be the guy
Who holds you when you need to cry
Who’s right there by your side
As you begin to find your stride

I was born to lead the light
As it flows across your sight
Just as black defines the white
Just as a bird expresses flight

I was born to be your man
That’s a gift not a demand
It’s an offer not a cage
poetry upon a page

I was born to be your guide
To the wilderness inside
Where a heart that’s open wide
Will finally decide.
