How Much Can A Man Really Take? Lyrics


												
														   How much can a man really take?

When he's pushed himself
too far

He knows that his mind is on the break.

And he's trying to
reach that star.

How many times have I seen him fall?

How many
times? Too many to recall.

Come on home!



He left his home in
search of his soul.

A many miles he did travel.

Towards the east and
distant shores.

For the mystery of life to unravel.

And many
wondrous sights he did see, 

while passing through those lands.

But
he cast a shadow deep and long

across the moving sands.



How
much can a man really take?

When he's pushed himself too far.

He
knows that his mind is on the break.

And he's trying to reach that
star.

How many times have I seen him fall?

How many times? Too many
to recall.

Come on home!



Fate was about to deal him a
card,

from the bottom of the pack.

And he met his end in fair
Nepal

with a dagger in his back.

So raise up your eyes and see that
angel in the sky.

And remember when you're searchin' for your soul,

you're searchin' for to die.



How much can a man really take?

When he's pushed himself too far.

He knows that his mind is on the
break.

And he's trying to reach that star.

How many times have I
seen him fall?

How many times? Too many to recall.

Come on home!
Come on home!

Got to get on home.
