Can you see that red-haired boy
Sitting just outside the bakery
The youngest of his family
Not noticed by anyone
He was born into poverty
His entire life he roamed the streets
Every day he felt the heat
of violence and despair
Chorus: Ev’ry single morning he got up, faced the day
Searching for a chance, a different way.
Always swim against the flow not knowing where to go
He chose to live, he won’t give up
Do you know that man over there
Sewing jackets at the factory
He spends his days in misery
Can hardly pay the rent
Last week he got this terrible news
An illness spread into his hands
He will loose his job, his only chance
But then she came around
Chorus
So when you think your world is over
A troubled eye will take away your sight
And don’t keep looking over your shoulder
You’ll find a way, in the dark of night
You’ll find your way, even in the night
He has always been on his own
Affraid to let someone come near
But he took a chance, overcame his fear
And asked her on a date
She gently held his painfull hands
and kissed his thin red velvet hair
Took him in her loving care
life gets brighter every
Chorus
TOUCHED
