Barry Lawton - The Shouting Man

Wished he was the man he thought he was and not who he turned out to be
Wished the mirror would tell a lie and not reveal the things he sees
Life's just waves of struggle dreams dashed upon the rocks
It's the choices you had or didn't make as you contemplate the ticking of the clock
Can you help him can you save him the shouting man
Standing in his kingdom shouting at the clouds to give the moon a chance
Can you help him can you save him this worn out man
A short fuse of frustration drowns out the pleas that call for romance
If children are our future then he's the plan who's path is made
The push of sons and daughters kicking up dirt to find there way
Holding on for dear life as they set the pace of an express train
Learned enough about himself he's shouting to releive the strain
You who believe in gods above but neglect mere mortals on the ground
Bound to some religion only hearing one voice one sound
Within these walls of righteousness place your hands over the cracks
It's the sound of worlds falling in its every tired worn out shouting man
