He was found on the side of the road where the children played
Where the street lamps began their moonlit serenade
Just beyond the horizon where his body lay
And the history of how his spirit was slain
And the mystery of the solemn man sank through the sand before the day did break
Oh....
And the leaves were dark that hid him there
And the limbs of the trees broken and snared
Across his heart and to the bone
But no one had come to take him home
Perhaps his family had a wife, a mother to three
Or was he a child of one who left him with uncertainty
Of who he would become, just like mine did to me
Or was he certain of what his fate would be
Oh....
And the bruises on his face will show
The fight he gave we'll never know
The cuts and burns were from the ground
To where no one had cared to carry him down
