man in black - brian owens lyrics

[intro]
let me tell ya a little story
about a man i know
who stood up for what was right and knew the truth
listen now, oh

[verse 1]
well, you wonder why i always dress in black, mm
why you never see bright colors on my back
and why does my appearance seem to have a somber tone
well, there’s a reason for the things that i have on

[verse 2]
oh, i wear the black for the poor and beaten down
living in the hopeless, hungry side of town
i wear it for the prisoner who has long paid for his crime
but who’s there because he’s a victim of thе time

[verse 3]
oh, i wear the black for thosе who’ve never read (those who’ve never read)
or who listened to the words that jesus said
about the road to happiness through love and charity
why, you’d think he’s talking straight to you and me

[verse 4]
i wear it for the sick and lonely old (for the sick and lonely old)
for the reckless ones whose bad trip left them cold, mm
i wear the black in mourning for the lives that could have been
each week we lose a hundred fine young men
[verse 5]
i’d love to wear a rainbow every day
i wanna tell the world that everything’s okay
but i’ll try to carry off (try to carry off)
a little darkness on my back
until things are brighter
i’m the man in black

[outro]
somebody oughta help me out now, yeah
i’m the man in black (i’m the man in black, i’m the man in black)
i’m the man, i’m the man, i’m the man in black
(i’m the man in black)
