Dignity
Wise man lookin' in a blade of grassYoung man lookin' in the shadows that passPoor man lookin' through painted glassFat man lookin' in a blade of steelThin man lookin' at his last mealHollow man lookin' in a cotton fieldFor dignityDrinkin' man listens to the voice he hearsIn a crowded room full of covered up mirrorsLookin' into the lost forgotten yearsFor dignityI went down where the vultures feedI would've got deeper, but there wasn't any needI heard the tongues of angels and the tongues of menWasn't any difference to meSick man lookin' for the doctor's cureLookin' at his hands for the lines that wereAnd into every masterpiece of literatureBlind man breakin' out of a trancePuts both his hands in the pockets of chanceHopin' to find one circumstanceOf dignityLetras de cancionesFootprints runnin' cross silver sandSteps goin' down into tattoo landI met the sons of darkness and the sons of lightIn the bordertowns of despairGot no place to fade, got no coatI'm on the rollin' river in a jerkin' boatTryin' to read a note somebody wroteEnglishman stranded in the blackheart windCombin' his hair back, his future looks thinBites the bullet and he looks withinFor dignitySomeone showed me a picture and I just laughedDignity never been photographedI went into the red, I went into the blackInto the valley of dry bone dreamsSo many roads, so much at stakeSo many dead ends, I'm at the edge of the lakeSometimes I wonder what it's gonna takeTo find dignity
