Lyrics We Can’t End This Way - Ben Harper, Charlie Musselwhite

We Can’t End This Way

There’s a man on the corner
Begging for help
There’s a man that walks past him
And he’s drowning in wealth
Who doesn’t understand
How disappointment destroys the soul
Every look of shame
Is a wound that will never heal
What has he done to deserve this
What have I done to deserve this
It’s easy to remember
But it’s easier to forget
Life has a way of getting in our way
I don’t want to go my way
If you’re not going my way
So I guess that means
I’ll be going your way
I will lead or follow
Beg steal or borrow
Just for one more day
We can’t end this way
