Cover art for Son Of Man lyrics by Phil Collins

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
