Homeless Man

I met a man who lives on the street
Tells the boys and girls, "Don't be like me"
He will plead
His name doesn't matter anymore
Sitting outside a local store
Just listening
To the world sing
Nobody worries about his health
And when he's lonely
He talks to himself
There's no one else

And I don't know
What he was trying to say
But all that I know
Is that I won't be afraid
To stand up when it's time,
To make the future mine
And I said that's exactly what I'll do
Man, am I glad I met you

He told me about me times when he
Was fortunate enough to see
The bands around
When they came to town
Sometimes he'd figure out
What people complained about
Was really true
When no one loves you
And I could tell you that this man was me
Never had the chance to see
What he could do
And he's part of you

I don't know
What he was trying to say
But all that I know
Is that I won't be afraid
To stand up when it's time,
To make the future mine
I said that's exactly what I'll do
Man, am I glad I met you

Sing it to the whole wide world
Sing it to the whole wide world
Sing it to the whole wide world tonight
Sing it to the whole wide world
Sing it to the whole wide world
Sing it to the whole wide world tonight
Yeah, you sing it to the whole wide world
Sing it to the whole wide world
Sing it to the whole wide world tonight
