Verse I walk the streets alone here, I go with head hung down The heavens laugh so hard at me that I cannot bear the sound A home to every lonely, an ear to every cry An eye to every suffering and lost to reasons why And of all the awful things I’ve heard The worst must be those terrible words If I don’t do it, that man will Be it steal, rape or kill verse 2 I strive to be a good man, I know it serves me well 'Though how and when this start was made, I truly cannot tell I’ve loved and I have been loved, I was not always true And at times I feel to stay alone, Is the honest thing to do Still in all I’ve best conceived That I did fall in fleshy need And taking water laced with sin Seen what love is up against Interlude verse 3 My mind is full of worry, and wonder at itself I search all day for answers, and nothing ever helps I don’t believe the stories of high and holy ghosts And if anything should matter, then what should matter most? To the thought I will abide That hate is foolish, love is wise Words the old man softly spoke Left the world to live in hope outro
