Child


Child, have I told you about the man I met today?
He told me that he didn’t want to go one for one more day
He was frustrated, sick of this world and wanted no more
He knew what it was like to be rich, to be poor

Child, have I told you about the man I met today?
He told me about all his pain, hurts, troubles and frustrations
He talked about not being able to walk, not being able to work
He told me about his joints, about all those aching quarks

Child, have I told you about the man I met today?
He told me about his past, which haunts him and causes only aggravations
He told me about the men he has killed, and the mistakes that he made
He told me about fights, jail, and regrets that he’s futilely repaid

Child, have I told you about the man I met today?
He told me that he didn’t want to go one for one more day
He was frustrated, sick of this world and wanted no more
He knew what it was like to be rich, to be poor

Child, have I told you about the man I met today?
I told him about all the good that he’s done
I told him about the lives he’s changed, and the lives that he’s changing
I talked to him about gratitude, and thanking

Child have I told you about the man I met today?
He told me that he didn’t want to go one for one more day
He was frustrated, sick of this world and wanted no more
I have to admit, I really can’t argue my point anymore
