It's easier to look the other way
It's easier to just not think today
It's easier to just not try
It's easier to walk on the other side
I see you walking on the other side...

Don't look away from me I'm the same as you
Don't look away from me we're the same except for what we've been through

Pavement sleeper get some sleep tonight
Pavement sleeper I hope you'll be alright

It's not right to look the other way
It's not right to just not think today
It's not right to just not try
It's not right to walk on the other side
I see you walking on the other side...

We have all done it and just pushed it out our minds
I ignored a plea for help tonight and still I felt fine
But I looked a bit closer and I'm starting to realise
Maybe this isn't right

But what can one man do, I can't change the world
I guess I could help him through, take away the constant cold
Give him something to smile about, while he grows old
Everybody needs something to hold, on to

But I don't have the power, to take off
The blindfolds off people who don't realise how tough
It can be to lose everything and if that's not enough
You have nowhere to go, so you have to sleep rough

But don't worry my friend
Don't worry my friend
Don't worry my friend
I said don't worry my friend
