You see him on the streets
He's always there
No one has ever heard him speak
Although he'll stare
Soon very soon he? in his mouth
And you'll be surprised of the words that come outHe might be a father that you turned your back on
Or your brother that haven't seen in so longYou see him on the streets whith rats for clothes, how did he end up in the streets no one knows where he is from or what is about
But you'd be surprised if? in his mouthHe might be a prophet, that you read of in book
or your savior, despite him clothesSo don't you ever jump to judge
don't you ever jump to judgeLooks may be deceiving, but every man's got their meaningI can tell you, you might end up in he's shoes
On the corner singing the bluesdon't you ever jump to judge, look beyond the cover of before you jump to judgeLooks may be deceiving, but every man's got their meaningHe might be a father that you turned your back on
Or your brother that your finger's point onThe woman in the street that you pass by, is somebody's mother, somebody's wife
I can't blind my eyes, I'm crying inside
People criticize who stereotypeMight be a mother that you turned your back on
Or your sister that your finger's point onWe are the people of the streets, we all are one
No matter how you sit, a one nation
And soon very soon, we've got to be strong
And look beyond this mass confusionIt might be creation that you turned your back on
Or your heaven?
So don't you ever jump to judge, look beyond the cover before you jump to judge
Looks may be deceiving, but every man's got their meaning
So don't you ever jump to judge, look beyond the cover before you jump to judge
Looks may be deceiving, but every man's got their meaning.
