|
Well I'm walking this lonely street |
|
but I'm far from bein' alone |
|
'Cause everyone I meet, |
|
has nowhere to call home. |
|
So they move on |
|
from day to day, |
|
just to stand in a line. |
|
Well my mother she comes to me |
|
and begs me not to fight. |
|
For the sake of the family, |
|
I have to stay out of sight. |
|
So I move on |
|
from day to day, |
|
just to stand in a line. |
|
On the road again |
|
for a job I never find. |
|
People talking... |
|
as if we're not their kind. |
|
I got a handbill, |
|
says there's work up here. |
|
Left my homeland... |
|
and paid a price too dear. |
|
I've come to the end of the line |
|
there's too many men, |
|
despair in their faces... |
|
Each one of us hoping to find a life, |
|
a home, a dream... |
|
within the line. |
|
I ain't helpless -- |
|
I just need a hand. |
|
These are hard times, |
|
for every kind of man. |
|
I've come to the end of the line |
|
there's too many men, |
|
despair in their faces. |
|
Each one of us hoping to find |
|
a life, a home, a dream |
|
a place to be. |
|
