Community - Damien Dempsey

Can you show me how not to feel

I’ve been stumbling through these city streets, with the devil at my heel

Can you show me how not to feel

I wanna heart of steel

Would you love me, as poor as I am

I ain’t got no place to call my own, I ain’t got no job or plan

Can you help me, like I helped you

Before it all fell through

Can you finally see, how much we need community

We’ll ignore economies, and become a family

Greed is a disease, greed is never pleased

All these people, they don’t feel a thing

They don’t care about their fellow man

They don’t care about their sins

If all these people felt like we do

This whole world could be brand new

Would you love me, either way, yeh

Would you help me through the day, yeh

And if I lost everything, yeh

Would you take me under wing, yeh

Well we need community, yeh

Through the hard times, us it sees, yeh

When we don’t have much money, yeh

We rely on people’s deeds, yeh

Our strength will be our unity

Good deeds, they have nobility, and the ability to sow so so many good seeds

If we have unity within a tight-knit community in times of need

We can face down anything thrown at us by the soulless faceless parasitic men

of greed

I’m speaking the truth

I’ve seen it
