Lyrics

Apologies: this should obviously be sung by a man and be backed with lush orchestrals, big cymbals, etc. as the power ballad it is meant to be; however, I only had this original vox demo available and hope it communicates the song's essence.

The Man Who Found His Soul One Day © 2004 Heidi Huettner

Bridge:

I am the man who found his soul one day
I almost threw it all away
Before I had the chance to stop and breathe
I had been muddling through a mist of grey
I clawed myself a fist of clay
To protest all that Spirit had to say

Chorus:

And now I know myself, and now I know my soul
I may have gone through Hell, I fell into a hole
That led me on crazy path
To where a mortal finds his earthly way
I found my soul that day

Verse 1:

The mask that fits for decades sits;
It will asphyxiate the delicate in you
But pull if off--it takes the skin,
And try to win without the face they know you by

Bridge
Chorus

Verse 2:

You molt alone, your fate unknown;
The sun that shone on you is half a world away
You?re stripped to bone, constantly thrown;
And yet you?ve grown into yourself once you obey

Bridge
Chorus
