I'm a man, almost,
The world so unclear,
Vague like swimming through water,
Eyes wide awake, vision so blurry,
I'm a man almost, mother don't worry.

I'm a man, almost,
I'll find my way,
I'm the message in a bottle,
Opened another day,
Scouring through water,
Washing upon the sand,
Worry not, I am a man.

I'm a man, almost,
I've earned my stripes,
My voyage through water,
High tides, I lost my way,
Back on track, I learn to stay calm,
I'm a man almost, world in my palm.
