In my eyes

You don’t know me!
Looking through my eyes, you don’t trust me.
You’d rather die than take my hand and lead me from this land of destruction and poverty
Why don’t you understand?
You don’t see me.
Look into my soul…
Can’t you see, I’m a man

I am that poor man on the street,
To the rich man, I’m a sinner, I’m a failure and I’m a thief.
Everyday, you all just pass me by
Can’t you see me?
Please don’t deny that I’m alive

You say you love God?
God says “feed him and you feed me”
So why deny me of the very thing i need
I don’t mean no harm
I just wanna talk to you.
Don’t want your money, no,
At least have the decency
To look me in the eyes and not deny that i’m alive

Listen, it’s a hard road to live the life of one that has no name
Before you point your fingers, did you ever stop to think how this happened?
I was living a normal life just like yours; a job, house, car and wife
I never comprehended that I could drop to zero.

So I beg you for a shilling and you deny me again!

My name is poor man.
