Lyrics

I look at the people who sleep on my street
gathered around the fire
a warm place to be and some good food to eat
is all that they desire

and far too many times now
I wake up in the night
with the feeling that something's not right
and I think about those people
and the lives they once had
and I realize it's all not that bad...

'cause all I ever needed
I already have
a little food on my table
and a roof over my head
my dreams I'm still chasing
and haven't found yet
but I'm gonna make it
to the mountain someday

I look at the people they show on TV
dancin' around the fire
some peace on their streets
and the freedom of speech
is all that they desire.

gather 'round the fire
