There's a man on the street
Whose got nothing to eat
And he asks you for a hand
But you pass him aside like
He's on a free ride and he's a con man
But if the role were reversed
And you'd been born cursed
I think you'd see it differently
Take a walk in his shoes
And then you might lose
That tight grip on generosity
I wasn't born a guardian angel
I'm just an average Joe who's
Tryin' to know a little bit
About what's going on
No I, wasn't born a guardian angel
Side by side we can do it together
We'll pull through it and
We'll make our problems history
Won't you please be my guardian angel

Take a walk in his shoes
And then you might lose
That tight grip on generosity

I wasn't born a guardian angel
I'm just an average Joe who's
Tryin' to know a little bit
About what's going on
No I, wasn't born a guardian angel
Side by side we can do it together
We'll pull through it and
We'll make our problems history
Won't you please be my guardian angel

And he asks you for a hand
But you pass him aside like
He's on a free ride and he's a con man
But if the role were reversed
And you'd been born cursed
I think you'd see it differently
Take a walk in his shoes
And then you might lose
That tight grip on generosity
I wasn't born a guardian angel
I'm just an average Joe who's
Tryin' to know a little bit
About what's going on
No I, wasn't born a guardian angel
Side by side we can do it together
We'll pull through it and
We'll make our problems history
Won't you please be my guardian angel
