Brother, you've fallen far behind
What is it that's on your mind
Sister, oh how do you decide
What do you see through your clouded eyes
On every corner I turn to
Some variation of "help me please"
Can't pretend I don't see you there
How should I feel
Brother, you've fallen to your knees
What do your children need
The distance is never out of reach
There's only inches between you and me
On every corner I turn to
Some variation of "help me please"
Can't pretend I don't see you there
How should I feel
Hey, mister, well I'm lookin' your way, you know
I wouldn't ask if things weren't like they were today
- Count up the corners of 'em, add up the dollars for 'em
Hey, mister, well I'm lookin' your way, you know
- Ten thousand of 'em all over town
I wouldn't ask if things weren't like they were today
- But is it really helpin', whatever I do
Hey, mister, well I'm lookin' at you, you know
- Will I feel good about it, will I feel a fool
I hate to beg, 'cause I feel like such a fool
On every corner I turn to
Some variation of "help me please"
Can't pretend I don't see you there
How should I feel
