Scarecrow, weathered and weary

Fragile and old beyond his years

Here we are - chosen

In your eyes, the truth lies frozen



Soldier in the city heat

Refugee in every street

And life goes by

Standing in the pouring rain



(Chorus)

He's a gentleman with a family

A gentle man, living day to day

He's a gentleman with pride,

One may conclude

Sign reads, Gentleman with a

Family will work for food



Shadows haunting his tired eyes

Reaching beyond the empty hand

Here we are, the chosen

In your eyes, the truth lies, frozen



Soldier in the city heat

Refugee on any street

And life goes by

An apostle to these worn out souls



He's a gentleman with a family

A gentle man, living day to day

He's a gentleman with pride,

One may conclude

Sign reads, Gentleman with a

Family will work for food
