Emily Hicks - This Man Lyrics

There's this man that I know
He holds tight to all he owns
Cause he's not used to having anything at all

He appreciates the smallest things
And revels in the wildest dreams
Despite the pain he's still full of hope

So tell me why
So tell me why

Why this man works harder
Than anyone I know
Yet somehow still struggles to survive

Oh, the harder he pushes
Farther life pushes him back
But I've never seen him lose the will to try

So tell me why
So tell me why

Oh why is his life so different from mine
I was blind, but this man
Opened my eyes

Oh, this man has a past
Darker than I've ever seen
But his heart shines brighter than the sun

Oh, remembers where he's been
But knows where he wants to go
Now I only hope to love like he loves

So tell me why
So tell me why

Oh why is his life so different from mine
I was blind, but this man
Opened my eyes

Oh why is his life so different from mine
I was blind, but this man
Opened my eyes
