Same Sun

see him there he is a poor man

he steals to support his family

from people just like you and me

from people just like you and me

and everyday he walks the streets alone

running from the cops he comes back home

with a wallet a camera or money

sometimes it's hard for me to see

we all live under the same sun

that gives it's light to everyone

we all live under the same sun

that gives it's light to everyone

he lived down the street in my neighborhood

until he made a big mistake

nobody knew just how much he would take

nobody knew just how much he could take

and now he lives his life behind prison bars

and it's hard to imagine that he's down there

and the neighbors are bitter and they don't care

the neighbors are bitter and they don't care

i knew that he would die a violent death

because he lived his life that way

and when the police shot him down that day

the police shot him down that day

he stabbed a man with a bayonet

and they took all the money that they could get

and in a stolen car they got away

sometimes it's hard and i forget

we all live under the same sun

that gives it's light to everyone

we all live under the same son

that gives his light to everyone

for a moment i thought i saw me fly

above the earth and sky

above the ground below and everyone i know

every nation race and kindred tongue and face

all the aggravation resting on his grace

high above the earth and mother mary's birth

i saw the angels cry

and with them i did fly
