Old Joe
He comes home after working for so many many years
Lays down weary on his bed
So many worries, broken dreams and fears, hurting things that people said.
Is there something you could do for him right now if you were there?
Is there some kind word that you would say to him if you were there?
He don't remember mama
His mama never saw his face
The wounds he suffered from an angry, bitter world
Are something time cannot erase
Is there something you could do for him right now if you were there?
Is there some kind word that you would say to him if you were there?
Viejo Joe
Regresa a casa después de trabajar por tantos años
Se acuesta cansado en su cama
Tantas preocupaciones, sueños rotos y miedos, cosas dolorosas que la gente dijo.
¿Hay algo que podrías hacer por él en este momento si estuvieras allí?
¿Hay alguna palabra amable que le dirías si estuvieras allí?
No recuerda a mamá
Su mamá nunca vio su rostro
Las heridas que sufrió de un mundo enojado y amargo
Son algo que el tiempo no puede borrar.
¿Hay algo que podrías hacer por él en este momento si estuvieras allí?
¿Hay alguna palabra amable que le dirías si estuvieras allí?
