Lyrics A Face Among the Crowd - Jackie Greene

A Face Among the Crowd

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
