The Man Lyrics

In the castoff world of homelessness he wanders through the day He watches as an ambulance goes rushing on its way He wonders who it's going to and hope they'll be alright He spends them thoughts of prayer and love as the Day turns into night And when you look into his face you know his life is right You see a man who cannot hide and blessed with inner sight He walks through inner cities and he helps someone to stand He makes them feel a part of us, a soul in the race of Man Surrounded by the selfishness of a world that's full of greed He does not think about himself, he helps those who are most in need He gathers in the strength to care, this ain't no paradise He sees the future in his mind and he knows that this ain't right And I know there are more of him and women equally Working in the world of pain so the rest of us can be They are the angels of this world, they show us to the light Back to the man who knows these things he will not speak or tell You have to understand him now he will not say why he fell And some folks think it is falling and some think it is a ploy But he doesn't give a damn what we think he Knows that it is joy And thunder rocks the heavens and lightening splits the skies And the rain pours down upon his head and sometimes He quietly cries But only when he is all alone and loneliness his pain We share the battles all of us and we don' t need to be ashamed Now we're at 2000 and some are going to flip right out And some will learn the secrets of this man and of his route And hopefully as time permits a few of us just might Learn to live our lives in joy and go on through the night And nothing's going to change and life goes on as just before You do not need to worry but you still go tot lock your door And by and by the time will come when we will sleep at night And love the world before us as we're living in the light
