| I saw this child who never smiled
|
| I told him that’s no way to live your life
|
| I saw him kneel down on his knees
|
| As he said please, please, please
|
| It’s as if I could see inside his mind
|
| And it reminded me of mine
|
| And it became clear that he belonged here
|
| And he promised me he’d try
|
| If only you could have been there
|
| With me and my brother John
|
| We tried so hard not to carry on
|
| But it was so obvious to everyone who was around
|
| Let me know if you see him around
|
| Let me know if you see him downtown
|
| I know there is something better than this
|
| I know there is
|
| There’s gotta be
|
| I know there is something better than this
|
| I know there is
|
| There’s gotta be
|
| I know there
|
| Is a place where I can just hang out
|
| With the friends who I brang out
|
| We can have some laughs smile and drink and have a good time
|
| With all the people we get
|
| Who I could never forget
|
| La la, la la la la la la
|
| Lotsa things that I would like to say
|
| To you in your troubled state
|
| But it’s so hard when you’re so good at keeping it to yourself
|
| And wait till the sun comes up in the morning
|
| If you come back we’ll find a place for you
