OLD MAN

Looking out to sea, clothes ripped threadbare and torn

This once proud man, now sad and forlorn

He\'s nowhere to go, he\'s nowhere to stay

Wondering around, becomes just another day

So many years ago, when he witnessed such hell

So many tales, that he could now tell

But they don\'t want to know, they say go away

We don\'t care about you, either yesterday, tomorrow or today

If only they knew, about the battles and cries

Head in hands, as another comrade dies

The war now over, and back home he came

Nobody wanting, to even know his name

Shunned by the nation, he once fought for

Oh god he ask\'s, what\'s the use of war

This man, who once stood so proud and tall

Now remembers, how all gave some and some gave all

So please now help him, to find his dignity

Give him  a home in your city

Where will you find him, he\'s looking out to sea

Yes I\'m that man, that man is me
