On Every Corner

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?
