ALL FOR ONE

When I come knockin at your door
all ragged & poor
I don't want to take what's not mine
But a bite to eat &
a warm place to sleep
I'll return to you someday in kind.
I hope you understand that
I come as a friend
Though its late I intend you no fear
See I've lost my way,
a small price to pay
for the things I once held so dear

Worked hard all my life
& I've sacrificed
For my kin not a shilling to spare
Now I'm filled with shame but
there's no one to blame
'Cept the fate that I've come to bare
I've no race in my cards,
no religion, no war
To explain the state that I'm in
But I've fought in the trenches
then slept on some benches
Is a fall from grace such a sin.

CHORUS
Is it All for One
Is it One for All
Can't you hear the pipers
when they call?
Like the warmth of your fire
is your heart's desire
To help a stranger in need?
But you've tightened these
chains with your look of disdain
You cut me & yes, I'll bleed.
No hand-outs you say
&...go away
Like sweeping the mice from the floor
Take a bottle down,
don't pass it around
Tonight, no alms for the poor

CHORUS
Well I thank you Ma’am
& I extend my hand
Though your fortune you cannot share
I may be meek but there's
strength when I speak
That this pain no one should bare
So my plea’s for the tired, the weary,
the poor & the ones
who can tread no more
Like the first days of Spring
wont you let them come in
When they come a'knockin at your door
