Poor Man (Instrumental Version)

Poor Man (Instrumental Version) - The Hit Co. (熱歌公司)

You don't know me, look into my eyes

You don't trust me,

you'd rather die

Then to take my hand,

lead me from this land

Of destruction and poverty,

why don't you understand?

You don't see me, look into my soul

Can't believe me,

I have nothing to show

But my legs and my arms

and my feet and my ears

And my eyes and my hands,

can't you see, I'm a man?

I am the poor man on the street

and to the rich man

I'm a sinner, I'm a beggar

and I'm a freak

Everyday you all just pass me by,

can't you see me?

Please don't deny that I'm alive

Aye, yo, all day and night alone

This cold pavement is

my home away from home

Where I spend it,

don't matter none

Cause I'm left stranded

but not the only one

Cause there's a whole

community of them

And me's that you stare at like

we are the enemy and I swear

I don't mean no harm,

I just wanna walk with ya

Don't mean no harm,

I just wanna talk with ya

Tell me your name, I'll tell you mine

How you doing today sir,

I'm doing fine

Now tell me, how that seem so hard

Easy to forget about me,

when you forgot about God

So now I lay me down to sleep

I pray, dear God my soul You keep

And if I die before I wake

I pray, dear Lord my soul You take,

I am the poor man on the street

and to the rich man

I'm a sinner, I'm a beggar and I'm a freak

Everyday you all just pass me by,

can't you see me?

Please don't deny

that I'm alive

Listen, it's a hard road

and it's a hard game

To live the life of the man

that has no name

And you point your fingers and laugh

Did you ever think

where this man takes a bath?

Did you ever think

when you called him a slob?

That it might be you in a year with no job

Yeah, he was living day to day

a normal life just like yours

A job, house and a normal wife,

just like yours

But never did he think or

comprehend what was ahead

His stock dropped to zero,

now he's better off dead

Then goes the house,

back accounts and the Benz

Just when he needed em them the most,

there goes his friends

Suicidal thoughts as the countdown begins

Puts the nine to his head

it all comes to an end

About to pull the trigger

as he takes his last breath

He remembers when he dies

his kids inherit his debt

There's nothing left, nowhere to run,

Puts down the gun, puts out his hand

Begs you for a dollar

and you deny him again

Look him in the eye

and deny him again,

his name is poor man

You say you love God,

but God says feed him and

He'll feed me

So why deny me of the very thing I need

Don't want your money, no,

at least have the decency

To look me in the eyes

and not deny that I'm alive

He is the poor man on the street

and to the rich man

He's a sinner, he's a beggar

and he's a freak

Everyday you all just pass him by,

can't you see him?

Please don't deny that he's alive

Please don't deny that he's alive

Please don't deny that he's alive

Please don't deny that he's alive

Please don't deny that he's alive
