I met a man
He called me friend
Does he not understand
That I am downtrodden

It doesn't seem to matter
One way or the other
When it comes to love, sir
Aren't we all brothers

Although my circumstance
Has me where I'm at
Here are the simple facts
In the depth of what he said

The way to look at life
Is through God's loving eyes
That is where we'll find
We have no right to criticize

After all aren't we all the same
Flesh and bone, blood and brains
Using the last, little as of late
If we did, then we'd all say

Hello friend,
I hope you understand
That love both does and can
Turnabout the heart of man
And then in turn, change the world we're in

I try my hand at fitting in
But miss most of the time
It could be worse but here's the dirt
I've been a misfit all my life

When you try and take a square peg
In a world that's spinning round
You'll soon find it doesn't fit
If there ever was a doubt

Like a fish out of the water
This pig that has no wings
My life is one big falter
If I'm at fault of anything

If it's even the slightest bit odd
That is where you will find me
Being where I ought not
When you pull back the curtain of reality

I find there really is no choice
Or to what degree
As I raise both hand and voice
A misfit it will be

Excuse me ma'am
But have you met
The brighter days
That lay ahead

For those who choose
To make the move
In what is right
In all they do

Brighter days
Are on their way
An even flow
A steady gate

What you had
In the past
Is of no concern
To what lays ahead

Nothing is the same
When the way is paved
On your walk of life
To brighter days

you do your best
in how you try
to make it through
this point in life

if you don't bend
along the way
then you begin
to take a break

we all hold
onto a hope
without that hope
what is the point

the sun will shine
the days will rain
i hope you find
that you're okay

no matter what
life puts you through
tomorrow you
can start anew

there's not a point
or a place where
your will won't
get you there

Woke this morning
To a new day dawning
With peace and harmony
On the wind calling

The feeling of urgency
Running deep inside of me
Born out of the desire
To help set people free

Heard the call to join hands
Every woman, child, able bodied man
Help them all to understand
We can all be best of friends

Let go of the bad energy
That makes the worst of enemies
After all we all need those
On which we know we can lean

Because after all
What are we all here for
If not to rise up
And give each other our support

If you find you're like me
And this you too do believe
Along with the wind make your calling
That of peace and harmony

Have we fallen out of love
With what is good and righteous
Straying from the path God laid
By which all men are saved

Who told you this was right
The plan of man that's lost its mind
Taking to a different avenue
Walking opposite of truth

What are we hoping here to find
At this juncture in our lives
We could just as easily go the way
By which all men are saved

Instead, we venture on our own
Leaving all that's good in all we know
We came to this point long ago
Left or right at the crossroads

This road we're slip and sliding on
Has a muddy grime that grips our bones
We need to walk the straight and narrow line
Far from the ditch of wasted life

Which makes us all fall out of love
With what is both good and righteous
Straying from the path God has laid
By which all men are saved

Is this the way the cookie crumbles
Or is it the ball that bounces
Could it be the nature of the beast
Not sure I like the sound of this

They say such is life, it is what it is
Seems to be the lay of the land
If you didn’t know, that’s the way that it goes
Played out by the unseen hand

That is the way the game is played
It’s just par for the course
Without a doubt, the way it shakes out
About all that we can afford

You win some you lose some after all
The way the cards tend to fall
Where the wind blows you never know
But still, they say it’s your call

It’s a piece of cake otherwise them’s the brakes
As we hum Que Sera, Sera
That’s the nature of course, the way the world works
It’s just the way that things are
