The Man Letra

"The Man"By Tom RappI am just a crewmanYou can listen to my story if you want toI started out on the Captain's tripSo many years agoHe was looking for something moreThan whta he hadHe said: I want to see his faceI want to touch his handI want to see his faceAnd then I'll knowThat he's the manWe missed him once at BetelgeuseThen again at Proxima CentauriHe had 2,000 years head startBut the Captain would not yieldThen at Venus that far morning starJust a century goneHe said: I want to see his faceI want to touch his handI want to see his faceAnd then I'll knowThat he's the manThe years they passed us byBut we got near himCloser by the hourOn a hazy planet on the edge ofSpaceWe landed one more timeThey said he'd gone away just half a dayBefore we cameHe said: I want to see his faceI want to touch his handI want to see his faceAnd then I'll knowThat he's the manWe left Earth when I was a boyNow I was a man approaching thirtyThe Captain went up searching stillBut me I stayed behindThen they brought me nearThey said: He's hereHe waits insideNow I can see his faceI can touch his handI can see his faceAnd now I knowThat he's the manAnd now I knowThat he's the man
