Po' Girl - Walk on and Sing

I saw an old man laying in the road last night while people angry passed him by
And I asked sir can I help you? no my girl you surely can't I'm just waiting here to die
I've got no family no one to love be loved, I've got no home no sanctuary
I'm a busted wheel without a broke-down cart, unhappy birthday this one marks eighty-three
But I have found the light at the end of a bottle, slipped my soul into that sheath
So do not weep don't cry unless you wanna swell the seas, there are millions more so much worse off than me
Keep on walking, keep on walking, keep on walking
I said I'm drowning in the tides of these crazed times reaching blind for a reprieve
And I'm singing sweet songs just as hard as I can they do stop time grant me a space of peace
I'd like to move on out to some island in the gulf so small no map would ever show
And i'll clothe my sore spirit in a cloud of beauty let all the troubles of this cold world go
And I will lay my head down on my lover's chest, hold him close as close as breath
And we'll take our comfort in the moment and soft kisses, laugh and love and make no false promises
Keep on singing, keep on singing, keep on singing
Keep on walking, keep on walking, keep on walking
Come and sing the songs of freedom, come and sing the songs of change,
Sing of our long suffering, how we shall rise again
come and sing the songs of freedom, come and sing the songs of change,
Sing of hope lost long and lonesome, and of hope come home again,
sing of hope lost long and lonesome and of hope come back home again
