COULD HAVE BEEN MY FATHER

Take away everything

take the house the job the dignity

throw him on the street

sorry old man, that's the way it's gonna be

Drowning in air

That could have been my father

That could have been my brother

Standing at a traffic light, a sign in his hand

I'm just getting on with my life

here's some change old man,

I wish I could change the look in your eyes

Drowning in air

That could have been my father

That could have been my brother

"God bless you sweetheart" he said

so dignified

I smiled, I sighed

Drowning in air

That could have been my father

That could have been my brother
