Below are the lyrics:

“The Man At The Metro” (by Allan Judd)

See the man at the metro, Lord he really loves to sing.
Keeping time with a change cup from the coins that people bring.
He sings about Jesus. He sings about life.
He sings about lonely days and lonely nights.
He sings about fortunes he’s never had.
He sings about loved one’s who treated him bad.

See the man at the metro trying to shake off the cold.
In the clothes of a poor man with a heart as pure as gold.
He sings to remember. He sings to forget.
He sings for his supper or a cigarette.
He sings with a message to convey.
Lord knows, he’s got something to say.

About the plight, about the fight
About the rights of the homeless people
About the needs in the streets
And how they’re filled of the lonely people

See the man at the metro, he’s just dying to survive
On a little compassion and a load of sacrifice.
He’s there in the morning. He’s there at night.
He can’t afford to wait for the mood to strike.
He’s so in touch with reality much more than we will ever be.

See the man at the metro, Lord he really loves to sing.
See the man at the metro, Lord he really loves to sing.
