DON'T LOOK DOWN ON ME
by
Michael "Bear" Norris
Don't Look Down on Me
He shuffles down the sidewalk
In the gloom and the rain
The people who see him there
Can never feel his pain
His jacket's torn and tattered
Made of Army green
His history doesn't matter
Its the things he has seen
Chorus:
Don't look down on me
We shed our blood for you
If you'd seen what we sacrificed
You would be just like us too
We went to war, fought and died
And few here cared or cried
Don't look down on me
And as he leaves them all behind
And slowly leaves the town
His mind goes to when they came home
And how they all looked down
As he gets to the end of town
He lies down to sleep
And the Angels came and took him
His soul now theirs to keep
His suffering now over
His spirit now set free
This man who once saved a life
Is the brother who saved me!
(Repeat chorus and add tag)
