Song For Everyman

(Terry Callier)
 Mmm-mmm
 I done heard the music in the concrete canyon
 Yes, I have
 Lonely at close of public housing blues
 And right now the poor girl
 Has got a bitter, bitter sweet companion, yes sir
 And some other funky friends she did not choose, yeah
 Pain is happening out here everyday
 And I know it is
 Pain, hey, is happening out here everyday, oh yeah
 Now I don't know
 I don't know what is right for the people, y'all
 No, no
 And all I wonder what is left of dreams that fading down
 Now maybe how
 Maybe how could you to sung all the people y'all right now
 And maye we can find the answer for the minds
 Oh oh oh oh
 Try spending
 Try spending your understand
 Help a neighbor
 Help a neighbor if you can
 Show some patience
 Show some patience, torrent dreamer
 And sing a song for everyman
 Mmmmm
 Some men won't accept you
 Can't accept you as a brother, no no
 You see, there's certain things if eyes did not recall
 Not at all
 But are we? I tell you
 If there aren't much to do for each other, no, no
 Time makes dust and ashes all the soul
 Try spending
 Try spending your understand
 Help a neighbor
 Help a neighbor if you can
 Show some patience
 Show some patience, torrent dreamer
 And sing a song for everyman
 Here, some men can't accept you as a brother, no, no
 And I'm tired of hear all the music
 All the music from the concrete canyons, oh yeah
 Nor the echoes
 Nor the echoes of the public housing blues, oh no
 [fade]
