This is where I live Taking a walk in the neighborhood See if I can give Help my sister get all she should Will it ever change Is tomorrow gonna be the same No time for love And the ways of the world Is it ever gonna change No more time for push and shove Push and shove, no time Push and shove, no time Because, it's hard to hide it When it's lookin' back at you Somebody talkin' with foolish pride Even a hobo's got a mother Somewhere cryin' "Lord have mercy on my baby's soul" For one world we've got to pray We can make it if we go hand in hand Surely brighten up someone's day Might even make it to the promised land Because it's hard to hide it When it's lookin' back at you Somebody talkin' with foolish pride Even a hobo's got a mother Somewhere, cryin' "Lord have mercy on my baby's soul"
