I`ve been him — текст песни (Dr. Hook)

See that wino in the gutter
I`ve been him
See that wino in the gutter
Well I`ve been him
See that wino in the gutter
Watch him stumble hear him stutter
As he cries out for his mother
Well I`ve been him

See that soldier with his gun
Well I`ve been him, I`ve been him
See that soldier with his gun
Well I`ve been him, I`ve been him
See that soldier raise his gun
Watch him kill and see him run
And then forget the things he`s done
Well I`ve been him

Hey
I`ve been him, I`ve been him
I`ve been him, and I`ve been you
Tell me ain`t you been there too

See that brave man standing trial
Well I`ve been him, I`ve been him
See that coward run and hide
Well I`ve been him, I`ve been him
See that finger-pointing preacher
See that never learning teacher
Every crawling, crying creature
Well I`ve been him

I`ve been him, I`ve been him
I`ve been him, and I`ve been you
Tell me ain`t you been there too

See that little baby cry
Well I`ve been him
See that old man about to die
Well I`ll be him, someday I`ll be him
When I`m tall enough to stand
So`s I can reach and touch God`s hand
Then I believe I`ll understand
And I`ll be him

And when I`m tall enough to stand
So`s I can reach and touch God`s hand
Then I believe I`ll understand
And I`ll be him

I`ve been him
I`ve been him.......
