I was walking down the street the other day |
| [00:25.947] |
And a sight came before my eyes |
| [00:28.688] |
It was a little hippie boy, I must have been twice his size |
| [00:33.692] |
His appearance typified his strange breed |
| [00:39.454] |
Gaudy clothes, long stringy hair hanging down |
| [00:44.446] |
I'd seen perhaps a thousand in my early trips to town |
| [00:49.693] |
As he walked beside me on down the block |
| [00:55.451] |
I noticed no unpleasing smell |
| [00:59.188] |
He might have been on the weed or even LSD |
| [01:02.198] |
But if he was I couldn't tell |
| [01:05.700] |
So we walked together that way through this neighborhood |
| [01:10.703] |
Finally he turned around to me |
| [01:14.686] |
And he said friend, you know we're a million miles apart |
| [01:19.690] |
But you know something we can enjoy the sunshine and the weather |
| [01:28.192] |
So why don't we put our differences aside |
| [01:30.702] |
And just talk to each other |
| [01:34.205] |
You see this box beneath my arm |
| [01:38.695] |
To you it's plain, it has no charm |
| [01:42.435] |
But to someone dearest to my heart this box has played a tragic part |
| [01:47.692] |
This little one can't tell you himself about his life and how he died |
| [02:02.199] |
But if anyone else could speak for him I guess I'm qualified |
| [02:05.189] |
This boy was in Chicago, he didn't know why he was there |
| [02:12.438] |
He was with his family and friends and he didn't really care |
| [02:17.198] |
You might have been one of those |
| [02:21.955] |
Who saw the struggle there on your television screen |
| [02:24.439] |
The tragic thing is so much else happened |
| [02:29.944] |
That no one else could have seen |
| [02:32.942] |
A stranger handed this boy a dollar to do a simple chore |
| [02:43.188] |
To carry a package to a nearby hotel |
| [02:46.441] |
And when he returned he'd get two more |
| [02:50.205] |
But when he came back he sort of lost his way walking thru the crowd |
| [02:56.195] |
One of them things you ask yourself, how the Lord allowed |
| [03:01.692] |
But when he was found he was like he is now |
| [03:08.697] |
Dreaming sweet and still |
| [03:12.202] |
And in his little hand was a crumpled dollar bill |
| [03:17.198] |
Now you can take that dollar |
| [03:25.448] |
Get four cents on it compound it quarterly at any downtown bank |
| [03:31.452] |
So they can back some hot new tank or atom bomb |
| [03:38.185] |
Well, what I'm going to tell you now, you can stay or you can leave |
| [03:48.195] |
You kind of listened to my story so far but just one more thing |
| [03:54.441] |
It's the same for any hippie, bum or hillbilly out on the street |
| [04:06.634] |
Just remember this little boy and never carry more than you can eat |
| [04:07.641] |
Now could you help us sing this song, please |
| [04:15.904] |
There will be peace in the valley for him now we pray |
| [04:26.139] |
I will think of the little hippie boy that way |
