I Know a Man

It's been years, he's been here And time just lingers and no one knows He's got eyes, he's got ears He's got all his fingers and all his toes His is a life of observation Maybe one day he'll get to translate this information For twenty years he hasn't spoken a word He's been silent since the accident occurred While so many people taken tongues for granted Taking the truth finding ways to slant it I know a man who'd know what to do So many people go day in day out Just dreaming up things they can bitch about I know a man who'd know what to do It's a dream, but for him it's real And it never goes away And it never will He's in touch with what he feels Ah but he just can't say Maybe it's better still His is a life of endless frustration He's got his pride, he's not exempt from humiliation Can't lift a finger to stop what's wrong He can't lift a leg to dance to a Beatles' song While so many people taken spines for granted Slither and squirm, taken what they're handed I know a man who'd know what to do So many people go day by day Sitting on their hands constantly complaining I know a man who'd know what to do So many content to exist like sheep Never scratching the surface Of themselves too deep I know a man who'd know what to do So many people like you and me Never realizing what our lives could be I know a man who'd know what to do
