If I were to lose it all tomorrow
End up on the dark side of the road
Brother would you stare at me in sorrow
Alone out in the cold
Hidden by the wayside you will find her
Standing in the shadows of hard times
It is sad that there but for fortune
Brother go you or I
Walk on by
Pretend that you don't see her
Walk on by
Don't lend a helping hand
There's a cold wind blowing
Through the heart and the soul of every man
Walk on by
Have we lost our sense of direction
Abandoning all that we were led to believe
To lift those out of desperation
Helping the blind to see
Blessed is the child who lives for the others
Walks a mile or two in their shoes
Till the last heartbeat is forgotten
Just what are you going to do
Walk on by
Pretend that you don't see her
Walk on by
Don't lend a helping hand
There's a cold wind blowing
Through the heart and the soul of every man
Walk on by
Walk on by
Walk on by
Walk on by
