(richie havens)
Step out in the night
when you*re lonely
listening for the sounds
that your ears don*t hear
i know your cross is heavier
with every step
every step
but i know a man
and he*d walk miles for you
Stop, you stay where you are
take a look at yourself
take a good look at yourself
*can tell your momma
she*d only tell ya
that she told you so
the life you*re leading
she won*t believe
the riches of life
we all know
Dawn turns to day
and the dawning
daytime, nighttime
and we still can*t see
why must we wait until the morning light
to wake up and be
wake up and be
wake up and be
Step out in the night
when you*re lonely
listen for the sounds
that your ears don*t hear
i know your cross is heavier
with every step
every step
but i know a man
who*d walk miles for you
Stop, you stay where you are
take a look at yourself
take a good look at yourself
*can tell your momma
she*d only tell ya
that she told you so
the life you*re leading
she won*t believe
the riches of life
we all know
*can tell your momma
she*d only tell ya
that she told you so
the life you*re leading
she won*t believe
the riches of life
we all know
