Merely A Man (2001 Remaster)

Higher

I'm a king, yes, I'm a head of state

But I'm the kitchen boy who'll wash your dirty plate

I had no message and the message was

We're all Jesus, Buddha, and the Wizard of Oz

I'm merely a man

And I bring nothing but love for you

I'm merely a man

And I want nothing that you can't do

And you know it's true

That with logic and love, we'll be lifting humanity higher

Higher

I'm all religious figures rolled into one

Gaddafi Duck propelled from Jimmy Swaggart's tommy gun

Don't promise rainbows with some golden pot

In fact, what I can offer I know you've already got

I'm merely a man

And I bring nothing but love for you

I'm merely a man

And I want nothing that you can't do

And you know it's true

That with logic and love, we'll have power enough

To raise consciousness up and for lifting humanity higher

Higher

And you know it's true

We should chase superstition and fear from our hearts

If we're going to survive and take levels of sanity higher

Kick it up, higher

I'm merely a man

And I bring nothing but love for you

I'm merely a man

And I want nothing that you can't do

I'm merely a man

And I bring nothing but love for you

I'm merely a man

And I want nothing that you can't do

And you know it's true

That with logic and love, we'll have power enough

To raise consciousness up and for lifting humanity higher
