Beneath a million stars
 Within the course of a lifetime
 How very young we are

 As I stumble on this journey
 Along the road to what is real
 I'm not made of steel
 I'm not made of steel


 With all the lessons of my learning
 And the strength that I possess
 Still there are mountains I wish I was moving
 That take much more than my best


 There are plans beyond my power
 There are dreams beyond my reach


 Oh these eyes deceive the words I speak
 Don't tell the story inside
 So don't believe the face you see
 It's only the face of my pride


 CHORUS
 I'm not made of steel
 I'm not made of stone
 I can't be anything more than I'm made of
 Move heaven and earth on my own


 I'm only a man
 Flesh and blood is all I am
 You think I can carry the world on my shoulders
 That don't mean that I can
 I can bend I can break I can feel
 I'm not made of steel


 They teach you well to wear your armor
 But what you've learned is just a lie
 And there's a price to be paid for denying
 With every tear you never cry
 Don't ever show, don't let them know
 The heart you never reveal
 Don't ask me why don't make me hide
 The pain you don't think I can feel


 CHORUS


 I'm only a man
 Flesh and blood is all I am
 You think I can carry the world on my shoulders
 That don't mean that I can
 I can bend I can break I can feel
 I'm not made of steel


 (solo)
 Oh don't believe the face you see
 It's only the face of my ...only the face of my pride


 CHORUS


 I'm only a man
 Flesh and blood is all I am
 You think I can carry the world on my shoulders
 That don't mean that I can
 I'm not made of steel, I'm not made of stone
 I'm not made of steel, I'm not made of stone
