Too Bad Eugene - Drawing Straws lyrics

rate me

Poor man sits all alone

Counts about nothing he owns.

You see him there but you walk on by

His cup of change is running dry

His whole world is cold and gray

He didn't eat a single thing today

But that don't phase you at all

Cause you got your life together and you'll never fall.

(Chorus)

When I see through the eyes of the One who gave us His Son

And loves us all the same, I can't just walk away

Cause how could I defend when I've got so much to

lend So quick to turn my back to anyone that asks

You say he's just a thug

Hooked on alcohol and hooked on drugs

But you're human just like him

And when God gives you His grace

He know that you'll still sin

Don't close your mind so tight

Nothing you say will make it alright

And this person still won't have home

Except these streets that he's always roamed

(Chorus)

There's not much difference between us

We're all just drawing straws and he got the shorter one.

We see an ugly dirty bum

It's in your point of view and he's so beautiful seen through...

(Chorus)
