There's a man on the street

Whose got nothing to eat

And he asks you for a hand

But you pass him aside like

He's on a free ride and he's a con-man

But if the role were reversed

And you'd been born cursed

I think you'd see it differently

Take a walk in his shoes

And then you might lose

That tight grip on generosity.

I wasn't born a guardian angel

I'm just an average joe who's

Tryin' to know a little bit

About what's going on

No I, wasn't born a guardian angel

Side by side we can do it together

We'll pull through it and

We'll make our problems history

Won't you, please, be my guardian angel.

Take a walk in his shoes

And then you might lose

That tight grip on generosity.

Side by side we can do it together

We'll pull through it and

We'll make our problems history
