The Simple Man

The mist crept in across the ocean
Across the beach low on the ground
So deadly cold so deadly silent
It hid the bridge across the bay
And floated slowly on its way right into town

A cardboard cottage in a doorway
A simple man lies down to sleep
A simple man a simple story
A life of hardship hunger pain
The simple man within the mist goes lost again

It's so strange
That in this world full of commerce and gain
Don't you think it seems so insane
That with the knowledge we have and the price that we pay
No one saved the simple man

The simple man has no solution
He has no voice that can be heard
He doesn't know he has a problem
He flickers out just like a light
Because he never learned to struggle or to fight

It's so strange
That in this world full of commerce and gain
Don't you think it seems so insane
That with the knowledge we have and the price that we pay
No one saved the simple man

That with the knowledge we have and the price that we pay
No one saved the simple man
