Under the endless sky

Beneath a million stars

Within the course of a lifetime

How very young we are



As I stumble on this journey

Along the road to what is real

I'm not made of steel

I'm not made of steel



With all the lessons of my learning

And the strength that I possess

Still there are mountains I wish I was moving

That take much more than my best



There are plans beyond my power

There are dreams beyond my reach



Oh these eyes deceive the words I speak

Don't tell the story inside

So don't believe the face you see

It's only the face of my pride



[Chorus:]

I'm not made of steel

I'm not made of stone

I can't be anything more than I'm made of

Move heaven and earth on my own



I'm only a man

Flesh and blood is all I am

You think I can carry the world on my shoulders

That don't mean that I can

I can bend I can break I can feel

I'm not made of steel



They teach you well to wear your armor

But what you've learned is just a lie

And there's a price to be paid for denying

With every tear you never cry

Don't ever show, don't let them know

The heart you never reveal

Don't ask me why don't make me hide

The pain you don't think I can feel



[Chorus]



I'm only a man

Flesh and blood is all I am

You think I can carry the world on my shoulders

That don't mean that I can

I can bend I can break I can feel

I'm not made of steel



Oh don't believe the face you see

It's only the face of my ...only the face of my pride



[Chorus]



I'm only a man

Flesh and blood is all I am

You think I can carry
