From the recording High Tide
Lyrics
I was walking down the road
Minding my own business
Reeling like a tortured soul
Freaks rushing by wearing headphones
Try to escape a crazy world
In the distance saw a homeless man
Disheveled and sitting all alone
In his old hands, a cardboard sign
With a message I could not ignore
It said peace, love
Looked around it was all surreal
Like a scene from a horror show
I took a bump from a business suit
He said “Man you’re walking too slow”
I was filled with hatred
I couldn’t let it slide
I want to push him back
But then I remembered the sign
Ooh my my, ooh bam-a-lam
Try a little peace and love and understanding
