about

This song was written in late 2007 as a smooth soul tune. You can see a primitive live version here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=00KsrEtlOXE

lyrics

Like mighty oak,
growing through solid stone,
Like a river rushing,
carving out a home,
Like a wildfire raging,
burns through solid steel,
Like the sun and moon,
a'turnin' on their wheel.

Lord, you know it's true.

CHORUS
I'm no superman,
when I'm on my own,
Babe, ain't nothing I can't do,
when I'm next 2 U.

Sweating hard all day,
make myself a life,
Buy you the Hope Diamond,
to ask you be my wife,
Raising up the peoples,
to freedom in their souls,
Making love all night,
until that rooster crows.

Look at what you do.

CHORUS
