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
