john mellencamp - the eyes of portland كلمات الأغنية

[verse 1]
as i saw through the eyes of portland one day
there were so many homeless, they’d all gone astray
they slept on the corners during the day
as not to be harmed when the sun went away

[verse 2]
there were old ones and young ones, white ones and black
they were all shapes and sizes, with rags on their backs
so many people mixed up in this stew
with no place to go and nothing to do

[chorus]
all of thesе homeless, wherе do they come from?
in this land of plenty where nothing gets done
to help those who are empty and unable to run
your tears and prayers won’t help the homeless

[verse 3]
some are mentally ill, some are higher than kites
selling their bodies as day turns to night
where are their loved ones, does anyone care?
to be lost and alone in the middle of nowhere

[chorus]
all of these homeless, where do they come from?
in this land of plenty where nothing gets done
to help those who are empty and unable to run
your tears and prayers won’t help the homeless
[verse 4]
what will it take for this country to see
for the grace of god go they and not you and me
the fallen and forgotten, who are down on their knees
living here in the gutters in this land of the free

- john mellencamp
