There is a man, a tall man, follows no one Out in a storm can he stay warm From all the things that he's done Oh the city lights are such pretty lights Can't he move on, tell him it's alright Sing your song and say that it's alright Say it's alright There is a man, a crippled man, is he soldier Can his new wife live out her life The way he told her Oh see her pride, I see it burning bright Be a scream and say that's it's alright Shake your fist and tell him it's alright Say it's alright Where you have been is not a sin, it's where you're going Hurt anyone by what you've done and it starts showing Although you can't complain about the wind and the rain you gather down in the churchyard just the same You want everyone to wash away the stain It's very claim
