Walking days
Marty Abercrombie
While walking down the street one night
I saw an old man standing under the street light
His clothes were ragged, tattered and torn
He looked at me all forlorn.
CHORUS
I walk on by but fall to see
all the people who desperately need me
Troubled people everywhere
But I'm too busy with my own life to care.
While walking down the street one night
I saw a young girl standing under the street light
Her face was paintedher lips were mad
I turn my head and I feel sad
CHORUS
While walkin' down the street one night
I see a drug dealer under the light
He sells death to those who buy
I walk on past but then I sigh.
CHORUS
While walking down the street one night
an abortion clinic is lit up bright
a place where babies are put to death
before they are allowed to take a breath.
Bridge
These are walkin' dayswalkin' days for you and me
walking days for us all.
CHORUS
While I was walkin' down my dreams one night I saw myself under the street light.
