lyrics
Don't waste your time looking for rhymes or reason
Is it a crime to feel how I feel?
He is my hero, my Man for all Seasons
He is my light, my guide, my friend.
He's a saint, a sinner, a natural-born winner
The ultimate loser, a giver, a user
He's kind, cruel, a genius, a fool
The fact and the fiction, a mad contradiction
The crime, the conviction, the cure, the addiction
The paper, the scissors, the stone
And I don't know why, I'm feeling so alone
He was a hero in his time
He was a rock
He was a friend of mine
(Instrumental)
And I know you'd say I should walk away
I know you think I'm a fool
Cos he hates when you win, but he hates you to fail
And he'll shine like the sun and then rage like a gale
He's the Man for all Seasons, so don't look for reasons
The logic's the logic of love
And I don't know why I cried so much today
He was a hero in his time
He was my light, he was my guide
He was the reason I survived
The reason I survived.
