Song For Everyman - Rotary Connection, Minnie Riperton

Mmm-mmm

I done heard the music in the concrete canyon

Yes, I have

Lonely at close of public housing blues

And right now the poor girl

Has got a bitter, bitter sweet companion, yes sir

And some other funky friends she did not choose, yeah

Pain is happening out here everyday

And I know it is

Pain, hey, is happening out here everyday, oh yeah

Now I don’t know

I don’t know what is right for the people, y’all

No, no

And all I wonder what is left of dreams that fading down

Now maybe how

Maybe how could you to sung all the people y’all right now

And maye we can find the answer for the minds

Oh oh oh oh

Try spending

Try spending your understand

Help a neighbor

Help a neighbor if you can

Show some patience

Show some patience, torrent dreamer

And sing a song for everyman

Mmmmm

Some men won’t accept you

Can’t accept you as a brother, no no

You see, there’s certain things if eyes did not recall

Not at all

But are we?

I tell you

If there aren’t much to do for each other, no, no

Time makes dust and ashes all the soul

Try spending

Try spending your understand

Help a neighbor

Help a neighbor if you can

Show some patience

Show some patience, torrent dreamer

And sing a song for everyman

Here, some men can’t accept you as a brother, no, no

And I’m tired of hear all the music

All the music from the concrete canyons, oh yeah

Nor the echoes

Nor the echoes of the public housing blues, oh no
