Blessing in Disguise

Starved for destination, a beggar man by trade 
A desperate man needs more than someone else to blame 
Friendless he appears, he hides behind his tears 
For things he's lost, or things he'll never have at all 


The forgotten man wanders misplaced in the world 
Obscurity is all the eye can see, and I recall 


All alone again 


As we pass on by and continue with our day 
Can we appraise the quality of life some other way? 


All alone again 


When you take a longer look at someone on the run 
You may see reflections of yourself becoming one 
Take an extra moment when you find yourself at peace 
To think about your values and your own affluency 


Everything you've worked for and everything you've done 
May be thrown by the wayside, and you're not the only one 
Everything around you may seen worn and overused 
But imagine yourself removed from all that you're used to 


All alone again 


Once an influential man, once was in his prime 
He spends his days repeating lines like "can you spare a dime?" 
Shunned by those loved you and by those who were your friends 
Can you adjust to a different life of living on the edge? 


The destitute find meaning in a different way of life 
The doorways that they dwell in are shelter in the night 
No shining crystal possessions set out for his display 
His purpose is to find the food to get him throught the day 


All alone again 


Roaming aimless through the streets of supply and demand 
Once a gypsy disconnected, no more, no future plans 
Self discarded king of ruin, worthless to the world 
Fight to keep his sanity, his voice is never heard 


You may think it thoughtless and his mind is on a string (?) 
He always seems to find a reason to him through the day 


All alone again 


He staggers down the alley to drink his spirits by himself 
As he prays to God that he wakes up somewhere else
