I had a way with words for a while You call it substance over style Now I hear laugh but I don't see a smile I had a way with words for a while If I had've known I would've stuck around 'Cause what kinda man lets his brother down Oh, while I was gone think about all that you found A dear old friend and a brand new sound I am one man I can do anything We are not far We can do anything Is the whole thing just a test? Is there something you should get off your chest? Don't keep me waiting on some SMS Don't keep it all so close to the vest I am one man I can do anything We are not far We can do anything Our return will come some day The three of us will laugh and play I know that we can find a way Put it all behind us Nothing to remind us To put it all behind us There'll be nothing to remind us Won't hold my breath, won't wait in vain Won't single you out, won't lay blame I won't protest but I won't be the same 'Cause I'm the only one who has my name I am one man I can do anything We are not far We can do anything One man I can do anything We are not far We can do anything Do anything I am one man
