You can't take the home from a homeless man You can't take away his streets You can't threaten a man, with nothing to lose Or bruise him when he's beat You can't take money from a poor man Or scare a man with no fear You can't shame a man with no pride Or force a stone to tears What can you do to a broken man What can you do to a broken man You can't cut a man who's bleeding You can't push a man who's down You can't starve a man who's hungry Or loose him when he's found You can't break a man who's broken Or cheat a man who knows Or kill a dream that's dead And curse it when it goes What can you do to a broken man What can you do to a broken man You can't strip a man who's naked You can't defend a man who's lied You can't believe a man who's lost You can't envy a man that's cried You can't lift a man who's risen Or teach a man that knows You can't fight a man who's won Or heat a fire that burns What can you do to a broken man What can you do to a broken man
