Scarecrow, weathered and weary
|
Fragile and old beyond his years
|
Here we are - chosen
|
In your eyes, the truth lies frozen
|
|
Soldier in the city heat
|
Refugee in every street
|
And life goes by
|
Standing in the pouring rain
|
|
[Chorus:]
|
He's a gentleman with a family
|
A gentle man, living day to day
|
He's a gentleman with pride,
|
One may conclude
|
Sign reads, Gentleman with a
|
Family will work for food
|
|
Shadows haunting his tired eyes
|
Reaching beyond the empty hand
|
Here we are, the chosen
|
In your eyes, the truth lies, frozen
|
|
Soldier in the city heat
|
Refugee on any street
|
And life goes by
|
An apostle to these worn out souls
|
|
He's a gentleman with a family
|
A gentle man, living day to day
|
He's a gentleman with pride,
|
One may conclude
|
Sign reads, Gentleman with a
|
Family will work for food
|
