lyrics

'I carry the burdens of many' an old man once claimed.
'I don't quite understand them but I feel them all the same.
I spend many a night just thinking on what I have seen
Wondering who or what is to blame -
Maybe we're all to blame'

'I've seen the poor just wandering; no safe place to cry
Helplessly beggin' for a nickel or a dime
and I've seen many others in the safety of their own cars
Driving on past 'cause they don't got much time
Well they were late anyways.'

'People are hurting in silence 'cause they don't know what for
All they know is that they're feelin' too much pressure to endure
At times there may seem to be a light far up ahead
But in a world of illusions, nothing is for sure
When everyone needs to be sure.'

'There was a murderous man; his hands were a dark shade of red.
He walked to the guillotine while they screamed for his head
The witnesses felt that justice was greatly deserved
But their pain was not relieved when he was dead
No they just felt guilty instead.'

'And in my time of pondering, I've discovered something else
That all people on earth must lay their defences on a shelf
Do not fear your neighbour and do not fear your own death
But we should all be afraid of what's inside of ourselves.'


With those last words the old man did suddenly die
With the stars smilin' down on the place where he lie
But the boy to whom he spoke had long since disappeared,
and no one ever heard the stories of old Jerry the Wise.
