Somebody listen I'm a voice in the distance crying come see about me
I am a stranger in a world filled with anger come see about me
I'm gettin' weary tryin' to carry this load all by myself
I'm bone tired and fallin' can't you hear me callin' I need somebody's help
[ guitar ]
I am a young man growing wild across this land come see about me
I'm fourscore and twenty I ain't got anybody come see about me
I'm somebody's children alone and forsaken a wave that's lost at sea
I'm right here behind you I'm all around you
So slow down turn around and you will see
[ guitar ]
I am your mother your sister and your brother come see about me
I am a baby my mother ain't no lady come see about me
I am your maker the giver and the taker come see about me
