	作曲 : Previn
	He has passion
	For ecology
	Compassion
	For minorities
	He carries printed placards
	To put an end to war
	He's a hero
	He's a rebel
	With a half a hundred causes
	He peddles his petitions
	Door to door
	He's at home among the homeless
	Singing set my people free
	He will march
	With total strangers
	But he will not walk
	With me
	He writes letters
	To his congressmen
	On Indian indignities
	Black men
	Are his brothers
	He bears collective guilt
	He's a prophet
	He's a pacifist
	But tho' peace
	Is his objective
	He has no fear to see
	His own blood spilt
	His roots are with the rootless
	That's where he needs to be.
	He will die
	With total strangers
	But he will not live
	With me
	He feeds and shelters animals.
	Unselfish are his deeds.
	He gives away his worldly goods
	And has no notion of
	My needs.
	Lover look away a moment,
	Tho' the ghetto cries,
	Long enough
	To see the hunger in
	One person's eyes.
	Passion
	For ecology.
	Compassion
	For minorities.
	He weeps to think that anyone
	Could ever be
	Alone.
	He's a seeker
	He's a saviour
	Who strives to
	Save the children
	But he's never had
	A child of his own.
	He's united
	With the universe
	He's at one
	With stars and sea
	He can love
	The whole damned human race
	Oh
	Then why is he
	So afraid to be
	In love
	With me?
