I was walkin' the other day with my head down |
|
When I met a man who had his hand out |
|
So I gave him, gave him a dollar |
|
But as I walked away I heard him call out |
|
"Tell me brother, can you see the sun |
|
From where you're standin' now? |
|
I've been up and I've been down |
|
But I've never been to this part of town" |
|
So I started thinkin' 'bout, this world we live in |
|
About how far I've got my hand in |
|
Sometimes it seems that all we have, we have taken |
|
But maybe next time, won't be the forsaken |
|
Tell me brother, can you see the sun |
|
From where you're standin' now? |
|
I've been up and I've been down |
|
But I've never been to this |
|
So I went to see my girl, told her about my day |
|
She said, "Life can be that way |
|
But don't give up, don't give up, no |
|
'Cause where there is love, there is hope" |
|
Tell me brother, can you see the sun |
|
From where you're standin' now? |
|
I've been up and I've been down |
|
But I've never been here before |
|
Tell me brother, can you see the sun |
|
From where you're standin' now? |
|
I've been up and I've been down |
|
But I've never been to this part of town |
