Soul Survivor

There's a man

Sits outside in front of Grazi's Cafe

Dirty clothes, a bedroll and a smile

He rubs his hands together

And says "Mister can you spare me some change?"

I see him down on my luck for a while

I'm a soul survivor

Yeah, I sleep under the freeway signs

And I'm here to remind you

Be a friend of mine, oh, be a friend of mine

There's a famous picture

From the war in Vietnam

A little girl running on a road burned and screaming

Thirty years later

She met the man who called down the Napalm

But did he lie, when he begged for forgiveness

She said, I'm a soul survivor

Yeah, God's grace has set me free

And I'm a living reminder

So think about me, oh, can you think about me

I know the world outside

It ain't no bed of roses

We need each others hand

To take us through the night

Oh, yeah, yeah

Soul survivor

Yeah, everybody needs a helping hand

We're all here to remind us, yeah

The white man, the black man, the red man, all men

Soul survivor

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

I'm a soul survivor

Be a friend of mine, oh, be a friend of mine

Yeah, I'm soul survivor

Be a friend of mine
