A good man

Your brown eyes weigh heavy with the burdens of the world
Like what you('re) gonna do about the young boys and the girls
People are blind and they don't understand
But I think you can help them
You're a good man

Jesus hear the cry and the prayer in the morn of a good man
Jesus feel the pain and the hurt and the need of a good man
You're a good man
Reach out for the stars
I'm praying for your wisdom
Like I'm praying for the war
Jesus give you conciliation
Jesus give you inspiration
Jesus save this nation, maybe

You're worried about the pollution, 'bout the poison in the streams
'Bout the cruel asian war or the young man's broken dreams
Love thy neighbour as thyself
Reach for Jesus' hands
You can give them courage
You're a good man

Jesus hear the cry and the prayer in the morn of a good man
Jesus feel the pain and the hurt and the need of a good man
You're a good man
Reach out for the stars
I'm praying for your wisdom
Like I'm praying for the war
Jesus give you conciliation
Jesus give you inspiration
Jesus save this nation, maybe

There's a difference in the old and the young
That brought a mighty gap
But I don't think you feel it
It's laying in your lap
Hold my baby to my breast
And reach out for your hand
We all need the strength of a good man

Jesus hear the cry and the prayer in the morn of a good man
Jesus feel the pain and the hurt and the need of a good man
You're a good man
Reach out for the stars
I'm praying for your wisdom
Like I'm praying for the war
Jesus give you conciliation
Jesus give you inspiration
Jesus save this nation, maybe
