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
