A Heaven In You
i met a wise man with the heart of gold
he told me all his stories of his days of old
he said a child is crying on the other side of the world
and her mother is dieing she'll grow a lonely girl
time and time again he i've seen the faces of death
and if we keep this up there will be no one left
he said just the other day i seen young man get shot
if you wanna see the blood walk around my block
i sat and i watched the tears roll down his face
and then he turned and looked at me and said just have faith
he said hold on be strong theres so much more
he said every dark room has at least one door
two babies and their mother walking down the road
toting grocery bags with their raggedy clothes
he said what about the man in the cardboard box?
what about the homeless women around my block?
no one seems to care about what they're going through
no one wants to hear about the back street blues
oh how sad it makes me to think about all the fine dining
oh how sad it makes me to watch them burn all their money
and still have their silver lining
when all that we do is struggle all day
and wonder why some people just cant keep faith
