lyrics

Verse 1
I met you the other day b/c I made the choice to not look away. I looked you in the eyes and saw your story printed there. White hair and blue eyes covered by a cardinals hat and a beard like Santa Claus but only half as long and what lay behind those eyes was the closest thing to Neil Young’s Heart of Gold

Chorus
If we’d just look at each other maybe give a wave
If we’d just get to know each other stereotypes would fly away. Who knows what we’d see in each other’s eyes and where that would take us. Maybe out of this isolation and others out of the dust

Verse 2
He grew up in the South Texas Valley, he had a mother who raised him well and did the best she could, to always go the extra mile and put the cherry on the top for him
And he got married at the age of nineteen to a sweet and strict Jewish girl and they had a son named Lee, but first he had to go talk to Rabbi Hyman to be approved of

Verse 3
He made a name for himself as a pesticides applicator, he worked hard and would never take no for an answer
And though he felt invincible he had a type of growing cancer in the form of an addiction to drugs. He asked Jesus to heal him of his addiction, then he went to prison for four years on charges of possession. And he believes that this is how God finally healed him and he’s thankful

Verse 4
Now he sits there in the church coffee shop he worships Jesus and cleans up after folks on Sunday morn and he’s thankful for the kitten God sent to him on Christmas he’s learning tons from it And though he’s homeless and sleeps on his friend’s back porch he’s found a home in God’s heart and the heart of his friends and he’ll continue to grow in God’s good time, he’s found a home in God’s heart and the heart of his friends
