There's a man

Sits outside in front of Grazi's cafe

Dirty clothes, a bedroll and a smile

He rubs his hands together

Says "mister can you spare me some change?

I've been down on my luck for a while"

Yet I 'm a soul survivor

I sleep under the freeway signs

And I'm here to remind you

Be a friend of mine

Oh be a friend of mine



There's a famous picture

From the war in Vietnam

Little girl running on a road burned a screaming

Thirty years later

She met the man who called down the napalm

Did he lie 

When he begged for forgiveness



She said I'm a soul survivor

God's grace has set me free

And I'm a living reminder

So think about me

Oh can you think about me



I know this world out side

And it is no bed of roses

We need each others hand

To take us through the night



(Guitar Solo)



Soul survivor

Everybody needs a helping hand

We're all here to remind us

The white man, the black man, red man , all men

Soul survivor, yea yea yea ....

I'm a soul survivor

Be a friend of mine

Oh be a friend of mine

I'm soul survivor

Be a friend of mine
