What The Man Said - Words & music by Anthony Hill
Intro:
Verse 1
A man once told me that I was born like a dog
Just one of many with my eyes firmly shut
He said have a look around at everybody else
Just pretend to be happy with the rubbish hands you get dealt
Chorus
Think of all the chances and the opportunities
I might’ve missed; there’s more to life than this
Must be more to see to touch to know to read to feel and to love
Must be more to living than this
And he said “my boy, there is… there is”
Verse 2
I was talking to my brother the other day
He’s getting older and slowing down but regrets still mount up
He said “if things don’t change, I’d rather just be dead”
I grabbed his hand and told him what the man said
Chorus
Think of all the chances and the opportunities
You’re going to miss; there’s more to life than this
So much more to see to touch to know to read to feel and to love
So much more to living than this
And he said “you’re right, there is… there is”
