Poor Man's Pain

[Verse 1]

Did the crime pay more than time

Time and time, and time again?

Land of laws for the darker man

Freedom comes too slow

I could give up if my soul wasn't with me

I could give up if the blood wasn't in me

I'm pressing on, one day I'll see the sun

[Chorus]

I'm calling out to the heart of this land

Who's gonna listen to a poor man's pain?

And I'm reaching out, reaching out again

To anyone with the will to understand

[Verse 2]

Lonely nights and longer days

Count them down but they never fade

Hard to find who I used to be

I hold tight to what's left of me

Cold are the days where the world doеsn't see me

Cold are the nights whеre nobody needs me

Won't be long, I'm coming home, ooh

[Chorus]

I'm calling out to the heart of this land

Who's gonna listen to a poor man's pain?

And I'm reaching out, reaching out again

To anyone who will see me as I am

[Outro]

Freedom, won't you call out my name?

Freedom, won't you call out my name?

Freedom, won't you call out my name?

I am a man just like you, ha

I bleed the blood that you do

Well, I'm a man just like you, hey

I bleed the blood that you do

Yeah, freedom, oh yeah

Oh, freedom, oh yeah
