lirik lagu christine lavin - somebody's baby
i was standing on 6th avenue at the corner of 53rd street
waiting for the bus
token in my hand
thinking about dinner and what i would eat
that’s when i saw him all dirty and ragged
begging for nickles and dimes
i got on the bus
rolled away
but one thing stayed in my mind
he once was somebodys baby
someone bounced him on her knee
do you think she has any idea
what her little boy’s grown up to be?
i was walking through riverside park
on a beautiful afternoon
telling my neighbor about the vacation
i planned to be taking soon
that’s when i saw her all dirty and ragged
drinking a bottle of wine
i turned my head
walked right on by
but one thing stayed in my mind
she once was somebodys baby
someone bounced her on his knee
do you think he has any idea
what his little girl has turned out to be?
in the back of a checker cab stopped at a light
heading toward broadway
to see the latest critically acclaimed
pulitzer prize winning play
that’s when i saw them outside the shelter
forming a ragged line
we pulled away
i didn’t look back
but one thought stayed in my mind
they once were somebody’s babies
but somewhere their lives went all wrong
next time you see them don’t think the worse
why not try to think of this song?
