[ti: You Did Not Have a Home]
[length: 02:56]
[00:18.08]Oh, You did not have a home
[00:23.27]There were places You visited frequently
[00:25.92]You took off Your shoes and scratched Your feet
[00:28.13]’Cause You knew that the whole world belonged to the meek
[00:30.92]But You did not have a home, no, You did not have a home
[00:40.81]And You did not take a wife
[00:45.39]There were pretty maids all in a row
[00:47.11]Who lined up to touch the hem of Your robe
[00:49.83]But You had no place to take them
[00:51.67]So You did not take a wife, no You did not take a wife
[00:58.05]Birds have nests, foxes have dens
[01:03.42]But the hope of the whole world rests
[01:05.23]On the shoulders of a homeless man
[01:07.08]You had the shoulders of a homeless man
[01:10.69]No, You did not have a home
[01:16.90]Well, You had no stones to throw
[01:21.43]You came here without an ax to grind
[01:24.26]Did not tow the party line
[01:26.06]No wonder sight came to the blind
[01:28.79]You had no stones to throw, You had no stones to throw
[01:34.12]And You rode an ass’ foal
[01:39.58]They spread their coats and cut down palms
[01:41.38]For You and Your donkey to walk upon
[01:44.16]But the world won’t find what it thinks it wants
[01:45.93]On the back of an ass’ foal, so I guess You had to get sold
[01:50.43]’Cause the world can’t stand what it can’t own
[01:53.14]And it can’t own You ’cause You did not have a home
[01:56.77]Birds have nests, foxes have dens
[02:00.45]But the hope of the whole world rests
[02:03.19]On the shoulders of a homeless man
[02:04.98]You had the shoulders of a homeless man
[02:07.63]No, You did not have a
[02:09.56]Birds have nests, foxes have dens
[02:13.10]But the hope of the whole world rests
[02:15.87]On the shoulders of a homeless man
[02:18.68]You had the shoulders of a homeless man
[02:24.01]And the world can’t stand what it can’t own
[02:25.88]And it can’t own You ’cause You did not have a home
