I take a look around and all I see is
A lonely man stranted on the street
And I wonder why does he lie there
Where is his home where is his shelter
I often walked by and never seemed to notice
The story on his sign so destroyed and dejected
But all he ask so bold and clear
Is for a help in hand to rise from his fears
Why cant we open our eyes
And realise that we can live in paradise
Live in paradise
It dont take long before thoughts come flooding
Of names hes called so violent and misleading
But who am i to judge of a mans misfortunes
Im sure id be surprised if i walk in his shoes
Now we are far from perfect
Spightfull and greedy some more than others
But how can we ignore that he lies starving
From the lack of our own humanity
Why cant we open our eyes
And realise that we can live in paradise
Live in paradise
