Before Another Day Is Gone

He was standing there with his cardboard prayer saying help your fellow man, and bless the soul of a willing bro’ that puts a dollar in my hand. I passed him by saying why oh’ why did it have to be that way, that a fellow soul is taken down so low and left begging for another day. Chorus Tell me tell me, me oh my, just where did we go wrong, help us, help us get it right before another soul is gone. A mother and her little baby were standing in a check-out line, the scarf she wore that covered up her face said there's something's there to hide. A person standing next to me shouts America or go home, I looked away and I closed my eyes thinkin' where did we go wrong. Chorus Tell me tell me, me oh my, just where did I go wrong, help me, help me see the light before another day is gone. A young man walks the sidewalks in the town where he was born, but then one day he hears a call, he must lay his freedom down, but a choking fear made him break away in a race he couldn’t win, now one more mother’s son has paid for the color of his skin.
