Trouble falls in my home
Troubled man, troubled stone
Turn a mountain of lies
Turn a card for my life
Man of Steel, Man of Heart
Tame our ways, if we start
To devise something more
Something halfways
Only a steel man came to recover
If he had run from gold, carry over
We celebrate our sense of each other
We have a lot to give one another
I took a bus to the lake
Saw the monument face
Yellow tides, golden eyes
Red and white, red and wise
Raise the flag, summer home
Parted hair, part unknown
If I knew what I read
I'll send it half ways
Only a real man can be a lover
If he had hands to lend us all over
We celebrate our sense of each other
We have a lot to give one another
Took my bags, Illinois
Dreamt the lake took my boy
Man of Steel, Man of Heart
Turn your ear to my part
There are things you have said
Raise the boat, and raise the dead
If you take us away
Still can we say:
Only a steel man can be a lover
If he had hands to tremble all over
We celebrate our sense of each other
We have a lot to give one another
Troubled man, troubled stone
Turn a mountain of lies
Turn a card for my life
Man of Steel, Man of Heart
Tame our ways, if we start
To devise something more
Something halfways
Only a steel man came to recover
If he had run from gold, carry over
We celebrate our sense of each other
We have a lot to give one another
I took a bus to the lake
Saw the monument face
Yellow tides, golden eyes
Red and white, red and wise
Raise the flag, summer home
Parted hair, part unknown
If I knew what I read
I'll send it half ways
Only a real man can be a lover
If he had hands to lend us all over
We celebrate our sense of each other
We have a lot to give one another
Took my bags, Illinois
Dreamt the lake took my boy
Man of Steel, Man of Heart
Turn your ear to my part
There are things you have said
Raise the boat, and raise the dead
If you take us away
Still can we say:
Only a steel man can be a lover
If he had hands to tremble all over
We celebrate our sense of each other
We have a lot to give one another

Verse one
As abottleofsomething stated, is about a gambler (mountain of lies/card for my life = gambling) who has dug himself into quite a bit of trouble. For him, gambling was what his life revolved around, as with most gamblers. But he didn’t fair so well and is now in heaps of trouble. This is when he realizes that his way (which he thought was ‘something more’) really wasn’t all that great. So he calls on the Man of Steel, Man of Heart to help him realize what life is really about (tame our ways if we devise something halfways)
Chorus
Jesus came to recover the lost souls (only a steel man came to recover). He left his heavenly riches to do so (if he had run from gold, carry over). Christians celebrate a relationship with God and God is full of joy when we commit to him (we celebrate our sense of each other). We give God our hearts, he gives us eternal life [in a nutshell, lol] (we have a lot to give one another)
Verse 2
I don’t know what’s going on here, but I think it has something to do with the person being lost and confused (part unknown, if I knew what I read). But as far as that chorus is concerned, it’s basically the same as with verse 3s chorus.
Verse 3
The person was getting tired of their life situation for some reason or another (Took my bags, Illinois) and had a dream that the son died in a lake (dreamt the lake took my boy). This causes him/her to contemplate and look to Christ for comfort (Man of Steel, turn your ear to my part). This person knows Christ is wise (there are things you have said) and powerful (raise the boat, raise the dead) and realizes that even if we die in his grace (If you take us away) there is still something that can be said to comfort us (chorus).
Chorus
Jesus loves us. Real love. Deep love. Selfless love. And really, only a Jesus (a steel man) is capable of that kind of love (can be a lover). Because of that love, we can lean on him for anything, we can cry to him over anything (if he had hands to tremble all over) and certainly losing a loved one causes trembling. But even with death and loss, we can still celebrate the relationship we have with Christ (sense of each other) and give our hearts over to him in order spend eternal life with him (a lot to give one another) . ^_^
In Mark 4:35-41 Jesus calms the sea and in Mark 5:35-42 Jesus raises an officer's daughter from the dead, he also raises Lazarus from the dead in John 11:17-43
we have a lot to give one another
