Lyric I ve been him

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.......
