(Richie Havens). Step out in the night. When you*re lonely. Listening for the sounds. That your ears don*t hear. I know your cross is heavier. With every step. Every step. But I know a man. And he*d walk miles for you. Stop you stay where you are. Take a look at yourself. Take a good look at yourself. *Can tell your momma. She*d only tell ya. That she told you so. The life you*re leading. She won*t believe. The riches of life. We all know. Dawn turns to day. And the dawning. Daytime nighttime. And we still can*t see. Why must we wait until the morning light. To wake up and be. Wake up and be. Wake up and be. Step out in the night. When you*re lonely. Listen for the sounds. That your ears don*t hear. I know your cross is heavier. With every step. Every step. But I know a man. Who*d walk miles for you. Stop you stay where you are. Take a look at yourself. Take a good look at yourself. *Can tell your momma. She*d only tell ya. That she told you so. The life you*re leading. She won*t believe. The riches of life. We all know. *Can tell your momma. She*d only tell ya. That she told you so. The life you*re leading. She won*t believe. The riches of life. We all know.
