Brother, you've fallen far behind   What is it that's on your mind   Sister, oh how do you decide   What do you see through your clouded eyes      On every corner I turn to   Some variation of "help me please"   Can't pretend I don't see you there   How should I feel      Brother, you've fallen to your knees   What do your children need   The distance is never out of reach   There's only inches between you and me      On every corner I turn to   Some variation of "help me please"   Can't pretend I don't see you there   How should I feel      Hey, mister, well I'm lookin' your way, you know   I wouldn't ask if things weren't like they were today   - Count up the corners of 'em, add up the dollars for 'em   Hey, mister, well I'm lookin' your way, you know   - Ten thousand of 'em all over town   I wouldn't ask if things weren't like they were today   - But is it really helpin', whatever I do   Hey, mister, well I'm lookin' at you, you know   - Will I feel good about it, will I feel a fool   I hate to beg, 'cause I feel like such a fool      On every corner I turn to   Some variation of "help me please"   Can't pretend I don't see you there   How should I feel
