I`ve been him

See that wino in the gutter I`ve been him See that wino in the gutter Well I`ve been him See that wino in the gutter Watch him stumble hear him stutter As he cries out for his mother Well I`ve been him See that soldier with his gun Well I`ve been him, I`ve been him See that soldier with his gun Well I`ve been him, I`ve been him See that soldier raise his gun Watch him kill and see him run And then forget the things he`s done Well I`ve been him Hey I`ve been him, I`ve been him I`ve been him, and I`ve been you Tell me ain`t you been there too See that brave man standing trial Well I`ve been him, I`ve been him See that coward run and hide Well I`ve been him, I`ve been him See that finger-pointing preacher See that never learning teacher Every crawling, crying creature Well I`ve been him I`ve been him, I`ve been him I`ve been him, and I`ve been you Tell me ain`t you been there too See that little baby cry Well I`ve been him See that old man about to die Well I`ll be him, someday I`ll be him When I`m tall enough to stand So`s I can reach and touch God`s hand Then I believe I`ll understand And I`ll be him And when I`m tall enough to stand So`s I can reach and touch God`s hand Then I believe I`ll understand And I`ll be him I`ve been him I`ve been him.......
