I started life in urban slums
Good worlds I haven't heard
When you had your wine
I asked for kindness
I asked for love
When you see me on the streets
Don't turn away
After all I am not the one to blame
I am just a man
I am just a man
Why did you throw me out
Where was your heart
I am your kin
I am a man
You keep praying to your gods
And your gods forgive you all
Sitting among the stars
And country homes
You are blind to everything around
Oh, if I ever gain the strength
I will make you understand my pain
Open up your doors
I am your kin
I am a man
I am not the one to blame
You had a home
And I didn't have
Only in a dream I had that love
I had your life
Oh, God! If I find at least a bit of love
It might bring my soul to life
And I will finally become alive
I will finally become alive
