[Verse 1]
He comes home after working for so many many years
Lays down weary on his bed
So many worries, broken dreams and fears
Hurting things that people said
[Chorus]
Is there something you could do for him right now if you were there?
Is there some kind word that you would say to him if you were there?
[Verse 2]
He don't remember mama
His mama never saw his face
The wounds he suffered from an angry, bitter world
Are something time cannot erase
[Chorus]
