Phil Collins
She calls out to the man on the street
"Sir, can you help me?
It's cold and I've nowhere to sleep,
Is there somewhere you can tell me?"
He walks on, doesn't look back
He pretends he can't hear her
Starts to whistle as he crosses the street
Seems embarrassed to be there
Oh think twice, it's another day for
You and me in paradise
Oh think twice, it's just another day for you,
You and me in paradise
She calls out to the man on the street
He can see she's been crying
She's got blisters on the soles of her feet
Can't walk but she's trying
Oh think twice...
Oh lord, is there nothing more anybody can do
Oh lord, there must be something you can say
You can tell from the lines on her face
You can see that she's been there
Probably been moved on from every place
'Cos she didn't fit in there
Oh think twice... |
We
live in a world where we no longer believe each other. Do you remember
when is the last time you helped someone in the street ? The sad thing
is, the reason we stopped helping others is not because we cannot afford
or we don't feel for them, but because we do not think they really need
the help. We are so afraid to be cheated by others and being a fool that
we said to ourselves that they don't actually need the help. What if...
they really need it and we missed the chance to help them ? Can we
forgive ourselves ?
