One Man Band
by Phill Kosta
A Jack-of-all trades is a master of none
Still a Jack-of-all trades can get the job done
I pull all the strings, I run the show
But I've still got a long ways to go
'Cause I'm a one man band
Yeah I'm a one man band

It never hurts to be the one in charge
Until the weight of it all looms too large
I'm tempted to ask for help, but then
To ask for help would mean to let folks in
And I'm a one man band
Yeah, I'm a one man band

Yeah I'm a one man band
Sometimes I do too much
Everything I do has this anxious touch of
Someone who never learned to delegate
I'm likely to burn out at this rate
'Cause I'm a one man band
Yeah I'm a one man band

The water is rising and this sinking feeling
Tells me I probably could use some healing
I'm too proud to ask, but would you please;
Grab the wheel and take my keys?
'Cause I'm a one man band
Yeah I'm a one man band

Yeah I'm a one man band
Sometimes I do too much
Everything I do has this anxious touch of
Someone who never learned to delegate
I'm likely to burn out at this rate
'Cause I'm a one man band
Yeah I'm a one man band

(Instrumental)

As it turns out I'm not a superhero
Lot's of other folks, they got the fear of
Asking for help, thinking it means they're small
But no one person can do it all
Don't be a one man band
You're not a one man band

You're not a one man band
Don't take on too much
Let somebody help you, get that human touch (no)
We're not made to do it on our own
So let someone in before your life is gone
Don't be a one man band
You're not a one man band
You're not a one man band
Don't be no one man band

(Instrumental)
