"I've Seen"
© 2002 Brian Eggertsen, All Rights Reserved

Verse 1:
I've seen a happy man cry.
I've seen a sad man grin.
I've seen an honest man lie.
I've seen a loser win.
I've seen a dying man run.
I've seen a cold man glow.
I've seen the toughest mans gun.
I've seen the high mans low.

Bridge:
I've seen most faces of man,
Almost every caracter he can play.
Slowly changing from act to act,
Until it's time for him to fly away.
I've seen almost all that I can,
And the man behind the mask of the man....

Verse 2:
I've seen a hollow mans fill.
I've seen a blind mans wiev.
I've seen the brightest mans thrill.
I've seen a hard man bruse.
I've seen a borring man joke.
I've seen the black mans white.
I've seen the richest man broke.
I've seen a calm man bite.

Bridge:
I've seen most faces of man,
Almost every caracter he can play.
Slowly changing from act to act,
Until it's time for him to fly away.
I've seen alsmost all that I can,
And the man behind the mask of the man....

Tag:
I've seen all of the weirdest things
And just where the catch 22 begins...

Is this a song? It has a good message and a 'rhythm' like a song...

Very well written (or should we say well sung?)  Great rhythm!
