Just A Man is the second song of The Troy Saga when Odysseus sings his heart to the child, Astyanax. He sings about wanting to return home, the guilt he feels over the lives he has taken and the price he fears he must pay for it.
I look into your eyes and I
Think back to the son of mine
You're as old as he was when I left for war
Will these actions haunt my days
Every man I’ve slain?
Is the price I pay endless pain?
Close your eyes and spare yourself the view
How could I hurt you?
I'm just a man who's trying to go home
Even after all the years away from what I’ve known
I'm just a man who's fighting for his life
Deep down I would trade the world to see my son and wife
I'm just a man
But when does a comet become a meteor?
When does a candle become a blaze?
Whеn does a man become a monster?
When does a ripple become a tidal wave?
When does the reason become the blame?
When does a man become a monster?
When does a comet become a meteor? When does a candle become a blaze? Forgive me When does a man become a monster? Forgive me When does a man become a monster? Forgive me
I'm just a man
