lyrics

Lyrics:
Sit down my friend
Let me tell you of a story of a man from far 'way land with heart of gold

Take a look my friend
See his hands, his feet
The place on which he rests his head to sleep

Stand up my friend
Shake his hand, see his land
Feel ground on which he stands, breathe in the dust

Listen up my friend
Hear his story, testimony of his life and the trials he has to face

What is his want?
He asks for nothing
My heart is broken
See him standing there

What is his want?
He asks for nothing
My heart is broken
See him standing there

When will we
Fight for the powerless
Look beyond the brokenness
Give to a hurting world
When will we
Touch the untouchable
Reach to those around us
Stand up for the least of us

When will we
Fight for the powerless
Look beyond the brokenness
Give to a hurting world
When will we
Touch the untouchable
Reach to those around us
Stand up for the least of us

Sit down my friend
I have tried and tried to understand the injustice of this world
When will it end?

Go forth my friend
Lend a hand, spread some love, as you journey towards home
There is hope
There is hope

When we
Fight for the powerless
Look beyond the brokenness
Give to a hurting world
When we
Touch the untouchable
Reach to those around us
Stand up for the least of us
