A World View
From the work Songs of 1974
<<<Previous Song Next Song>>>
Composer: Roger D. Linder
He was a man like we all want to be
Respected, admired, no worries had he
A bank full of money was all he could see
His life was an unending chain
And you wouldn't catch me in his game
For he gave no love
And he took none in
On the corner a man asks for change
Unfortunate, hated and we think he's strange
A victim of a life unarranged
His life is an unending chain
And you wouldn't catch me in his game
For he gave no love
And he took none in
Paint me a picture of life as it used to be
Everything, everywhere, simple and free
Sing me a song of the meadows and budding trees
Bring it all back to me
Bring it all back to me
