"The Opposite Of Man" lyrics

"The Opposite Of Man"

I'm a simple song
Lost somewhere out among the noise
Cast to the side like old toys
And passing time collecting dust

I'm made of wood
Crafted by hands and called good
Listen and you'll feel understood
Cause I am quiet just like you

I will never be more or less than who I am
Cause all I am is stable
The opposite of man
And though they try to change me
It will not come to pass
And those who sing me softly
Know my promise lasts

I can see you child
Grown up and yet so beat down
A skeptic of every sound
But I am quiet just like you

I'm made of light
Comfort for some
But too harsh on shadowed eyes
Look straight and I will help adjust your sight
I'm full of color just like you
