Looking at the Face

Looking at the face in the street

Reflected in the eyes of his soul

Challenge raised to all he meets

Love within has gone so cold

And sometimes he is just so afraid

Just get away from all the talk

About how there's a better way

Worry about your own walk

I take care of my pay

Injustice speech or empty tirade

Even when you think it is a choice

Be like you I'd be just fine

I know this hollow voice

The price to pay is what is mine

You leave smiling over what you saved

When tomorrow's paper comes

Man you're sure you know that name

Another body in the dump

Can't be him 'cause that one's saved

Come and see the brand new grave
