As the beam of light hits my face
I can see the things I've seen
All the places I have been
My body's weak from falling
As the winds from heaven start to change
And God becomes my brother
Though I'm looking for a father
My voice is weak from calling
But the man they want to see
Is the only man that I will never be
So tell me why, if big boys don't cry
Oh then why are there tears in my eyes
I could be your saviour, I know
But please excuse me, I have to go
Please excuse me, I have to go
There's a stranger sleeping in my bed
In the morning she'll be gone
Knowing she's the only one
A truth so easy to lie for
As hands reach out to touch my coat
Do they feel my naked skin
Can they see the state I'm in
A lie too hard to die for
Cause the man they want from me
Is the only man that I can never be
So tell me why, if big boys don't cry
Oh then why are there tears in my eyes
I could be your saviour, I know
But please excuse me, I have to go
Please excuse me, I have to go
So tell me why, if big boys don't cry
Oh then why are there tears in my eyes
I could be your saviour, I know
But please excuse me, I have to go
Tell me why, if big boys don't cry
Oh then why are there tears in my eyes
I could be your saviour, I know
But please excuse me, I have to go
Please excuse me, I have to go
