This Part of Town

I was walkin' the other day with my head down

When I met a man who had his hand out.

So I gave him gave him a dollar

But as I walked away I heard him call out

"Tell me Brother can you see the sun

From where you're standin' now

I've been up and I've been down

But I've never been to this part of town."

So I started thinkin' 'bout this world we live in

And about how far I've got my hand in.

Sometimes it seems that all we have we have taken

But maybe next time won't be the forsaken.

Tell me Brother can you see the sun

From where you're standin' now

I've been up and I've been down

But I've never been to this part of town.

So I went to see my girl told her about my day.

She said"Life can be that way.

But don't give up don't give up no

'Cause where there is love there is hope."

Tell me Brother can you see the sun

From where you're standin' now

I've been up and I've been down

But I've never been here before.

Tell me Brother can you see the sun

From where you're standin' now

I've been up and I've been down

But I've never been to this part of town.
