Nobody SpecialI've been down, sleeping under bridges I've been up, walking along ridges In the spaces between yours and mine I've been out, taking lots of chances In a spin, making up new dances In my paces, as I walk down the line Everywhere I go, there's no "there" that shows Only vacant lots or rows of condos With automobiles chockful of heartless automatons Bent on automatic transactions If you got any heart, bless me now 'Cause I can't stand all the static I've been down, sleeping under bridges I've been up, walking along ridges In the spaces between yours and mine I've been out, taking lots of chances In a spin, making up new dances In my paces, as I walk down the line Everywhere I go, winds of changes blow Deep in the dark I see the dawn's crack glow Yet how many in the world of rolodex See it appearing, you know it's tragic When we get caught up in a solo hex As if money were the only magic Up in the night-time, Down in the daylight Out in the inner light of silent truth Next to the far side, Held by edge of night Close to the outcome, Bright as days of youth Taken for granted, Passed over each time I stood up to speak out on love and hate Shaken by an earthquake, Down to quick-lime So, I will sing this now, before it's to late: I've been down, sleeping under bridges I've been up, walking along ridges In the spaces between yours and mine I've been out, taking lots of chances In a spin, making up new dances In my paces, as I walk down the line Everywhere I go, down home folks feel it The heart of this earth cries, won't you heal it Now, I'm Nobody Special, I have no need for The big pay-off for which liars wait Yet, this world hasn't enough love, it needs more To guide us all through tomorrow's dire straits This world hasn't enough love, it needs more This world hasn't enough love, it needs yours |
