see him there he is a poor man
he steals to support his family
from people just like you and me
from people just like you and me
and everyday he walks the streets alone
running from the cops he comes back home
with a wallet a camera or money
sometimes it's hard for me to see
we all live under the same sun
that gives it's light to everyone
we all live under the same sun
that gives it's light to everyone
he lived down the street in my neighborhood
until he made a big mistake
nobody knew just how much he would take
nobody knew just how much he could take
and now he lives his life behind prison bars
and it's hard to imagine that he's down there
and the neighbors are bitter and they don't care
the neighbors are bitter and they don't care
i knew that he would die a violent death
because he lived his life that way
and when the police shot him down that day
the police shot him down that day
he stabbed a man with a bayonet
and they took all the money that they could get
and in a stolen car they got away
sometimes it's hard and i forget
we all live under the same sun
that gives it's light to everyone
we all live under the same son
that gives his light to everyone
for a moment i thought i saw me fly
above the earth and sky
above the ground below and everyone i know
every nation race and kindred tongue and face
all the aggravation resting on his grace
high above the earth and mother mary's birth
i saw the angels cry
and with them i did fly
