I Met a Man

I met a man who lived inside a cage

He told me that he wanted to be free

He said, "Look inside yourself

Can you find a way to help?"

And in my hand I held a key

Oh-oh-oh

I met a man

He cried when he saw that open door

I said, "Go, there's a great big world to see"

So, he stepped into the light

And through his broken cry

He smiled, and then he said to me

"I have looked for you through all these tears

To come rescue me from the wasted years

And now you're here, and I know what I must do

Just be myself and live this life

To the rhythm of the beat of this heart of mine

And I never will forget the day I met you"

The day I met you

I met a man

From that day, we were the best of friends

And he taught me lessons learned in the cage

To let go of things I held, to truly be myself

He taught me that we are who we choose to be

And I said, "I have looked for you through all these tears

To come rescue me from the wasted years

And now you're here, and I know what I must do

Just be myself and live this life

To the rhythm of the beat of this heart of mine

And I never will forget the day I met you"

Oh-oh-oh

I met a man

I am the man who lived inside the cage

And I am the man whose hand held the key

Oh-oh-oh (oh)

I met a man

Oh-oh-oh

Ah-ah-ah

Oh-oh-oh

Ah-ah-ah
