(S. Silverstein)
2
See that wino in the gutter
3
I've been him
4
See that wino in the gutter
5
Well I've been him
6
See that wino in the gutter
7
Watch him stumble hear him stutter
8
As he cries out for his mother
9
Well I've been him
10
See that soldier with his gun
11
Well I've been him, I've been him
12
See that soldier with his gun
13
Well I've been him, I've been him
14
See that soldier raise his gun
15
Watch him kill and see him run
16
And then forget the things he's done
17
Well I've been him
18
Hey
19
I've been him, I've been him
20
I've been him, and I've been you
21
Tell me ain't you been there too
22
See that brave man standing trial
23
Well I've been him, I've been him
24
See that coward run and hide
25
Well I've been him, I've been him
26
See that finger-pointing preacher
27
See that never learning teacher
28
Every crawling, crying creature
29
Well I've been him
30
I've been him, I've been him
31
I've been him, and I've been you
32
Tell me ain't you been there too
33
See that little baby cry
34
Well I've been him
35
See that old man about to die
36
Well I'll be him, someday I'll be him
37
When I'm tall enough to stand
38
So's I can reach and touch God's hand
39
Then I believe I'll understand
40
And I'll be him
41
And when I'm tall enough to stand
42
So's I can reach and touch God's hand
43
Then I believe I'll understand
44
And I'll be him
45
I've been him
46
I've been him.......
