Title: Rich Man, Poor Man
Subtitle: Peter Yarrow
I need a home, but my boots keep goin',
Healing and peace that a fire would provide.
A place to unburden my brain of its sorrow;
First things first when you get to the fire.
Rich man eats when he wishes
A poor man whenever he can.
I need a song, but the spring is for sowing,
A word to the wise that the Earth must provide
A tune to untangle the riddle of growing;
First things first when you get to the land.
Rich man eats when he wishes
A poor man whenever he can.
I need the moon, but the landlord needs money,
A field of wild flowers that the stars could provide.
A bird for my shoulder to fly through the rainbow;
First things first when you get to the sky.
Rich man eats when he wishes
A poor man whenever he can.
