I met a man,
With the whole world in hands
A dirty face
And ragged clothes
Worn out shoes
And no place to go
He gave me the shirt
Straight from his back
I met a child
So beautiful and bright
No dad in sight
She knew what was right
In the world
She told me to smile
There’s always a new day
I met a boy
So sensitive inside
Didn’t like football
Or rough-housing
with the guys
He looked up with his blue eyes
I met a man,
With the whole world in hands
A dirty face
And ragged clothes
Worn out shoes
And no place to go
The King of his own destiny
The ruler of it all
