the little things he can go without
his cares find higher ground
the lives of others around
his lease of time and space
will not show on his face
with what I've got I'll make do
I'm only passing through
he shines on days when even the sun's not around
stands on beliefs that are old tradition found
and he swears on it like he's been there
a warning from the past
and he'll share a tale and convince you
and pray that it will last
talks about this future place
says I'll need a lawyer to fight my case
he believes in the master plan
says he's living in borrowed land
he shines on days when even the sun's not around
stands on beliefs that are old tradition found
and he swears on it like he's been there
a warning from the past
and he'll share a tale and convince you
and pray that it will last
with every soul he saves his eyes fill with joy
another human being the word did not destroy
he shines on days when even the sun's not around
stands on beliefs that are old tradition found
and he swears on it like he's been there
a warning from the past
and he'll share a tale and convince you
and pray that it will last
he won't think twice about the little things he can go without
