Shandy Coffin – This Man's Life lyrics

I was walking the streets last night,
In the downtown core.
When a ragged man,
Grabbed my hand outside the liquor store.
(he asked)
Can I get 2 dollars from you,
For something to eat?
You know, it gets kind of cold down here on this lonely street.
[chorus 1]
So I cried, I cried all night.
I cried for him and all the dirty looks that passed him by.
And I cried.
And as I reached into my pocket,
I realized,
Just how much I take for granted,
In my lucky life.
(so I)
Pulled out a 10 dollar bill and said,
Sir, I hope this helps.
As he raised his arm to the sky and cried,
I think an angel fell!
[chorus 2]
And so I prayed, I prayed all day.
I prayed for God to come down in holy grace, and help him by.
And I cried.
Later that month I was sittin' down reading the news.
When something caught my eye right there in my living room.
(I guess)
That same old man died of exposure on some hotel stairs.
And if I weren't singing about him now,
Nobody would've cared.
[chorus 3]
So I cried! I cried all night!
I cried for him and how bravely, he fought that fight.
And so I prayed, then I cried some more.
I prayed so people like you and I could not ignore....
This man's life.
