lyrics

There's a young man sitting down by the side of the road
He's got all the time in the world but he's got nowhere to go
Oh brother, won't you lend me a hand?
Spoken with his eyes, he hopes you understand.

That I'm just like you, but I've fallen by the way
I'm just like you, I dream of better days
When the light starts to fade, when the day is done
I'll still be just like you
I'm somebody's son.

The loneliest place I know is on a crowded street
Where you'd kill for a smile as soon as something to eat
Oh Sister! Won't you lend me a hand?
Spoken with the courage of too few a man


That I'm just like you, but I've fallen by the way
I'm just like you, I dream of better days
When the light starts to fade, when the day is done
I'll still be just like you
I'm somebody's son.

And yes, I understand what the difference is between
What a man wants and what he really needs
I don't need a car, a boat or a big screen TV
It would be nice I guess, but what does it really mean?
I'm happy with the air that I breathe today
Things could be better but,
ain't that always the way.
ain't it always the way!

I'm just like you, but I've fallen by the way
I'm just like you, I dream of better days
When the light starts to fade, when the day is done
I'll still be just like you
I'm somebody's son.
I'm somebody's son
I'm somebody's son.
