I saw a little kid walking down the street
I could see he hadn't no food to eat
I saw him stop to ask a guy for some help
The guy kept walking, he said I have to help myself
The little boy kept his pride as he walked the road
Though he doesn't have anything , he got a heavy load
Although he doesn't cry, you could see pain in his eyes
He's probably younger than ten but no one's by his side
He got to support himself and maybe his parents too
He's asking for help from me and you

            Remember he wasn't born in that life
            Remember they all rather be somewhere esle
            Remember he didn't choose this life
            He's just trying to help himself

I walked up to him gave him a couple dollars, told him it's all I got
He knew I wasn't telling the truth, he heard that line a lot
Everyone's saying they wish they could help but not doing anything
If it would help tehm them, I'll give up everything

            Remember he wasn't born in that life
            Remember they all rather be somewhere esle
            Remember he didn't choose this life
            He's just trying to help himself

Later I saw the guy in a restaurant eating cavier
He was alone and he left in a limosine car
I thought of that little boy again
And I thought he needed a freind

            Remember he wasn't born in that life
            Remember they all rather be somewhere esle
            Remember he didn't choose this life

            He's just trying to help himself
