The man that time passed by

Verse

It’s been twenty years, ten thousand tears.

Since the day I disappeared.

On a silver sphere sent into space

To explore Mar’s atmosphere.

Verse

I was mourned then all but forgotten.

The way heroes often are.

My wife remarried; my kids grew up.

While I wandered among the stars.

Pre chorus

Time’s marched on, things have changed.

My world is not the same.

Nothing is as it was.

It all seems so insane.

Chorus

I’m the man, I’m the man.

The man that time passed by.

The man that time passed by.

Verse

It’s been twenty years, ten thousand tears

But today I reappeared.

On a radar screen they’ve spotted me.

I’ve entered earth’s atmosphere.

Verse

I’ve been cheered then all but forgotten.

Like news stories often are.

Nothing is as it was.

Except the moon and the stars.

Pre chorus

Time’s marched on, things have changed.

My world is not the same.

Nothing is as it was.

It all seems so insane.

Chorus

I’m the man, I’m the man.

The man that time passed by.

The man that time passed by.

Bridge

My soul is as empty as the void of space

I have no place in this world.

I have no place, no place in this world.

Pre chorus

Time’s marched on, things have changed.

My world is not the same.

Nothing is as it was.

It all seems so insane.

Chorus

I’m the man, I’m the man.

The man that time passed by.

The man that time passed by.
