A Face Among the Crowd - Jackie Greene

It seems like it was only yesterday

That I was just a boy and on the run

She always seemed so tough

Your uniform and all

It’s funny how somethings they never change

And now that I’m a man and I’m fully grown

I stand to face the world all by myself

Now what they said is true

That I’m a lot like you

I know were share more than just a name

Cause everytime I look into the mirror

I see you standing there

Everyday I realize you’re more apart of me

I am but a face among the crowd

I hope I’ve made you proud

I hope I’m half the man you thought I’d be

I’ve been working hard most every night

Singing all my songs under the spotlight

Sometimes it gets so rough

I feel I’ve had enough

But I recall the words you spoke to me

If you can keep your head and carry on

If you can share your strength with those who need

If you can watch it all cave it

Get up and build again

Well then you’d be the man I do believe

Now everytime I look into the mirror

I see you standing there

Everyday I realize you’re more apart of me

I am but a face among the crowd

I hope I made you proud

I hope I’m half the man you thought I’d be

Well I remember standing next to you

To see how tall I grew

I remember falling down and scraping up my knees

I am but a face among the crowd

I hope I made you proud

I hope I’m half the man you taught me to be

Mhmm
