If I said what's on my mind
You'd turn and walk away
Disappearing way back in your dreams
It's so hard to be unkind
So easy just to say
That everything is just the way it seems
You look up at me
And somewhere in your mind you see
A man I'll never be
If only I could find a way
I'd feel like I'm the man you believe I am
And it gets harder every day for me
To hide behind this dream you see
A man I'll never be

I can't get any stronger
I can't climb any higher
You'll never know just how hard I've tried
Cry a little longer
And hold a little tighter
Emotions can't be satisfied
You look up at me
And somewhere in your mind you see
A man I'll never be
If only I could find a way
I'd feel like I'm the man you believe I am
And it gets harder every day for me
To hide behind this dream you see
A man I'll never be

This song was recorded and sung by one of the very greatest voices of Rock-n-Roll. Brad Delp made it the big hit that it became and, although Tom Scolz has the writing credit, Delp was a much better songwriter. If it had not been for Delp, Scholz would have always remained an unknown. Simply put, Scholz came in on Delp's coattail. Boston will forever be remembered most for having the singer with the golden vocals of Rock-n-Roll.
