Verse 1
And did you walk
Down city streets
And did your heart
Not miss a beat
When they laughed
At your words
Couldn't you see
They were all absurd
Verse 2
They said you worked
Like 'n artisan
They didn't know
Didn't understand
They couldn't see
The beauty there
They couldn't start
To treat you fair
Verse 3
And so you died
So few grieved
They didn't know
What you achieved
How your heart
So proud and strong
Couldn't stay
Quiet for long
Verse 4
So now we hear
From beyond the grave
This you gave
When no-one cared
A true great man
Will remember
We that can
