Step Back
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I saw a man on the street he was lookin' for money his
hand was open wide
And if he only knew what he really needs he needs a
brand new life
I saw a couple walkin' hand in hand their noses stuck
up in the air
They were livin' the good life, plenty of money and
they didn't have a care
But baby have I got some news for you
You ain't gonna buy nothin' you can't lose
So throw it all away, and take a step back
There's so much waiting for you of what you lack
I saw the same man again yesterday with desperation in
his eyes,
And if he only knew what he really needs, he needs a
brand new life
If I could only be the one to tell him what he needs
to know
If I could only be the man with seeds to sow
I said baby have I got some news for you
You ain't gonna buy nothin' you can't lose
So throw it all away, and take a step back
There's so much waiting for you of what you lack
Now I know the world has got you down
And I know you've got no one around
And still I'm saying baby have I got some news for
you
You ain't gonna buy nothin' you can't lose
So throw it all away, and take a step back
There's so much waiting for you of what you lack
