A lone man standing quiet - searching
for someone in need-
Always ready - always waiting to
do a good deed.
Searching all his life for acceptance-
some one to care-
He lived his life in misery - this man
from nowhere.

He turned to drugs - neglected his
family for a high-
Laying in the shadows wishing
he could die.
Craving for a crumb of love - trying
to please everyone-
Hoping that his Dad would one day
be proud of his son!

When anyone had a need - he was
always there-
To lend a helping hand - He'd show
up out of no where.
Acceptance he wanted so - maybe it
would heal the pain-
People would just use him - and throw
him back again.

One day the sun was shining - he
looked up in the sky-
He realized he wanted to live as
he kissed the drugs goodbye!
He put things in order - his family
and his life-
The only one's he needed to please
were his children and his wife.

He still helps those in need -but
he does it out of love-
Now he gets his acceptance from
his Lord above.
He's learned to smile now - He's learned
to accept what he cannot change-
He swept out all the clutter from his life-
some things he rearranged.

Don't be surprised if sometimes you
need a helping hand-
Out of the blue you'll see him -
from the shadows he will stand.
He's never met a stranger - if you need
him he's there-
Then he glides back in the shadows-
this man from no where!
