It's easier to look the other way It's easier to just not think today It's easier to just not try It's easier to walk on the other side I see you walking on the other side...
Don't look away from me I'm the same as you Don't look away from me we're the same except for what we've been through
Pavement sleeper get some sleep tonight Pavement sleeper I hope you'll be alright
It's not right to look the other way It's not right to just not think today It's not right to just not try It's not right to walk on the other side I see you walking on the other side...
We have all done it and just pushed it out our minds I ignored a plea for help tonight and still I felt fine But I looked a bit closer and I'm starting to realise Maybe this isn't right
But what can one man do, I can't change the world I guess I could help him through, take away the constant cold Give him something to smile about, while he grows old Everybody needs something to hold, on to
But I don't have the power, to take off The blindfolds off people who don't realise how tough It can be to lose everything and if that's not enough You have nowhere to go, so you have to sleep rough
But don't worry my friend Don't worry my friend Don't worry my friend I said don't worry my friend
