Beggar boy
Look at the boy with his hand out stretched
Will you toss him a coin and go and make him fetch?
Or will you treat him with a bit of dignity
Ask yourself this question
what will it be?
Go look into his eyes
and place the coin in his hand
Acknowledge his existence
and tell him you understand
Give him a reason to have a smile on his face
and thank the Lord that you dont find yourself in his place
Will you toss him a coin and go and make him fetch?
Or will you treat him with a bit of dignity
Ask yourself this question
what will it be?
Go look into his eyes
and place the coin in his hand
Acknowledge his existence
and tell him you understand
Give him a reason to have a smile on his face
and thank the Lord that you dont find yourself in his place
