Man On A Mission Written by: Bob Hamilton
I am just a simple man
I don’t have any side
What you see is what you get
and I won’t be denied
Sand and bricks I understand,
wood, cement and glue
But when I see your siren eyes
I don’t know what to do
I’m a man on a mission
I don’t need permission – step aside
The first time that I saw your face,
it stopped me in my tracks
No way to go forward – no turning back
Serpents overcome me
I am a man possessed
Mercury runs through my veins,
this thing can’t be suppressed
I’m a man on a mission
I don’t need permission – step aside
New Orleans and Amsterdam,
Tokyo and Rome
You can have them to yourselves,
‘cause I’m not leavin’ home
Once I was a happy man
I could tell white from black
Now I’m torn a thousand ways
I want my freedom back
I’m a man on a mission
I don’t need permission – step aside
