warlord - penny for a poor man lyrics

he was once a younger man, just like you and i
but times have changed for this old man, the story makes you cry

now the nights are getting colder, can you lift a hand
soon to die, i'm growing older, help me if you can

just a penny for a poor man
a poor man, yes i am . . .
just a penny for a poor man

an honest man with a heart of gold, stricken by his luck
all alone, not a single friend, and no one to love

if you had no food or shelter, just a place to stand
would you ask for some assistance, would you need a hand?

just a penny for a poor man
a poor man, yes i am . . .
just a penny for a poor man

will he live until tomorrow, or will he die today?
can you feel the grief and sorrow that this song portrays?

now you say you are a rich man, well show us what you have!
if your heart holds any riches, lend a helping hand . . .

just a penny for a poor man
a poor man, yes i am . . .
just a penny for a poor man
just a penny for a poor man
a poor man, yes i am . . .
just a penny for a poor man
