|
When you're thirsty and no one will fill your cup for you |
|
And your well-dressed friends don't want you on their street |
|
When you're so far down, the gutter looks like up to you |
|
I will still be kneeling at your feet |
|
I will still be kneeling at your feet |
|
When you can't remember where you left your laughter |
|
And you forget the definition of your name |
|
When your yesterday sets fire to your ever after |
|
I'll reach down and pull you from the flames |
|
I'll reach down and pull you from the flames |
|
When all the crippled children you give strength to |
|
Lay their crutches down and walk away |
|
And you realize that all their mothers hate you |
|
I'll be there to hear the things you say |
|
I'll be there to hear the things you say |
|
When at last your bitter problems all ignore you |
|
And you've come out clean, everything is done |
|
And you realize I've been through it all before you |
|
Come down and walk beside me in the sun |
|
Come down and walk beside me in the sun |
