Young man, Young man I remember as a child A Young man looked at me and he smiled

With Untied shoes, a runny nose I wonder what he saw But a bright young mind from the brave young man who had yet to see it all

Young man, young man Have you no home? A place to rest your head? That bright mind dimmed, and dreams cut slim from words they might have said

Oh child of love, baby of god I pray until I weap I cry and plead, dear god please I sleep to find my peace

A peace of mind, that bright mind dimmed All because I’m not white like them On the other side I can’t fight like them I think of God and I’m just like him So I might win, If you play awhile Because this young man was once a child

Young man Young man Please wipe your eyes In another room his sister cries Paralyzed is he from pain Needles leave the temple stained No change near by, he dries his eyes And lie there while his sister cries

Young man Says the child’s father I wish I could do more The young man ignores Hugs his dad and hopes he’s reassured

No one can just hold your hand And love you all your life Not a mother, father, son or daughter Shit, not even a wife But life is love for all to share Pain is here for all to bear But Don’t dare lose sight of love or life I swear somebody cares I swear somebody hears, all the prayers filled with tears I swear someone made the trees for us to breath the air Young man you are here You remember as a child That man you looked up to, you witnessed him smile He saw in your eyes, past all he could see That God was with you, as he still is with me For he was I, and now I’m him That brave young man bright mind dimmed
