Son Of Man Lyrics
And the wisdom to be wise
All these things will
come to you in time
On this journey that you're making
There'll be answers that you'll seek
And it's you who'll climb the mountain
It's you who'll reach the peak
Lift your spirit, set it free
Some day you'll walk tall with pride
Son of Man, a man in time you'll be
No one to take your hand
But with faith and understanding
You will journey from boy to man
Lift your spirit, set it free
Some day you'll walk tall with pride
Son of Man, a man in time you'll be
And in teaching you will learn
You'll find your place beside the
ones you love
Oh, and all the things you dreamed of
The visions that you saw
Well, the time is drawing near now
It's yours to claim it all
Lift your spirit, set it free
Some day you'll walk tall with pride
Son of Man, a man in time you'll be
Son of Man's a man for all to see
i cant understand why no1 has commented on most of tarzan songs lol ( or any of them.. duno ) i love these songss. love phil collins. most of these songs have a meaning, reguardless of what type of movie they wer from. telling the boy to slow down instead of rushing to be a man.. theres plenty of time to grow up.. live your life first!
The song is about the psycho-spiritual transformation which takes place when one journeys from Boy to Man. I don't believe the core message of the song is 'enjoy yourself while you're young, you have plenty of time to grow up', as I have read others mention.
Rather, the song and this portion of the film depicts the long, difficult and painful path to growing up. You make sacrifices. You must develop patience, skill and discipline. In acts of faith you look to the skies for divine inspiration to guide you along the right path. You will fail many times, but in doing so will gain the strength, understanding and wisdom necessary.
And once you do become a Man, once you reach the peak of the mountain; all the things you dreamed of, the visions that you saw, will be yours to claim, and you will be a pilliar of the community surrounded by and connected with those you love.
this song rocks!!!!
this is a beautiful song lyrically and musically. (seriously. the lyrics are really good.)
How come so few have commented? The lyrics to this song is good. I really like this song :p It brings back childhood memories.
This song brings back memories!!
This, despite being from Tarzan, is basically saying live life and have patience. Because all of what he'll learn to be a 'man' will come to him in time with patience and practice and he should enjoy childhood while he can.
In my opinion it is song about human weakness and overcoming it. You are not born strong, you are not born wise... but if you try hard enough, and are willing to progress, there is no way in the world that you won't reach your peak. It's all about devotion, patience, and faith. Oh, the power to be strong And the wisdom to be wise All these things will Come to you in time On this journey that you're making There'll be answers that you'll seek And it's you who'll climb the mountain It's you who'll reach the peak
