When the world's getting harsher and colder than fair 
Where the good gets the bad and the bad doesn't care 
So I'm telling the stories to show what I mean 
But things that you'll see cannot be unseen 
It makes me say

There's bum on the street and he's asking for change 
But nobody looked his direction that day 
All that he says that he needs with your dime 
Is a meal for his daughter and some shelter this time 
And I reach in my soul and I answer his call 
He tells me God Bless You and there's hope for us all 
But a few hours later he is asking for more 
He's got a bottle of whiskey and a bag from a score
It makes me say...

There was a general, a hero, a leader of man 
Holds the fate of his soldiers in the palm of his hand 
How can it be that he's better off dead 
Then to live with the demons that grow in his head 
Like the burden he carries from the battle survived,
To the last image he witnessed that burned in his mind
Was when he rolled on by 
He saw a child with a rifle that's willing to die
Makes me say...
