Behind the voice is a coy man
who tries to speak his mind,
chasing only the right words
he never seems to find

He knows he needs to buy time,
until he gets to be understood
But he ends up saying too much,
a lot more than he should

All in all he’s a good man,
very soon he will know:
he’s walking the longest road

The man behind the voice,
y’know, isn’t trying to hide
he’s only a child who
doesn’t like to stand aside

A gesture means a lot to him,
a smile would just be great
Alone on an island
no one will ever be a mate

All in all he’s a good man,
very soon he will know
he’s walking the longest road

Behind the voice there’s still a man
and an audience to excite
He messes all up sometimes
…until he does it right

All in all he’s a good man,
very soon he will know
he’s walking the longest road…

All in all he’s a good man,
very soon he will know
…walking the longest road
