Gabriel & the Vagabond Foy Vance

There's a man on the corner and his clothes are worn
And he's holding out his hand
You can see in his eyes as the people walk by
He knows they don't understand

You see, they just think he's gonna take their money
And then go and spend it on dope
Then a man stopped by him and I saw a smile inside
As he gently whispered hope

Well the tramp started to cry, just kept saying
Why, why, why? Can't you see I'm a down-and-out
I'm 32 and I've got this one pair of shoes
And a bad taste in my mouth

I think it's clear to see that even God don't love me
Or else why would He leave me this way
Then Gabriel just smiled and said "Be at peace my child
Salvation is here today."

He got up to his feet and he sang Hallelujah
People were turning around in the street
He looked them in the eyes and he sang Hallelujah
There's someone here you gotta meet
Someone you just gotta meet
