Lyrics Song For Everyman - Rotary Connection, Minnie Riperton

Song For Everyman

Mmm-mmm
I done heard the music in the concrete canyon
Yes, I have
Lonely at close of public housing blues
And right now the poor girl
Has got a bitter, bitter sweet companion, yes sir
And some other funky friends she did not choose, yeah
Pain is happening out here everyday
And I know it is
Pain, hey, is happening out here everyday, oh yeah
Now I don’t know
I don’t know what is right for the people, y’all
No, no
And all I wonder what is left of dreams that fading down
Now maybe how
Maybe how could you to sung all the people y’all right now
And maye we can find the answer for the minds
Oh oh oh oh
Try spending
Try spending your understand
Help a neighbor
Help a neighbor if you can
Show some patience
Show some patience, torrent dreamer
And sing a song for everyman
Mmmmm
Some men won’t accept you
Can’t accept you as a brother, no no
You see, there’s certain things if eyes did not recall
Not at all
But are we?
I tell you
If there aren’t much to do for each other, no, no
Time makes dust and ashes all the soul
Try spending
Try spending your understand
Help a neighbor
Help a neighbor if you can
Show some patience
Show some patience, torrent dreamer
And sing a song for everyman
Here, some men can’t accept you as a brother, no, no
And I’m tired of hear all the music
All the music from the concrete canyons, oh yeah
Nor the echoes
Nor the echoes of the public housing blues, oh no
