Waitin' for when the last shall be first and the first shall be last

 He pulls a prayer book out of his sleeping bag 
Preacher lights up a butt and takes a drag 
Waitin' for when the last shall be first and the first shall be last 
In a cardboard box 'neath the underpass 
Got a one-way ticket to the promised land 
You got a hole in your belly  . . 
Sleeping on a pillow of solid rock 
Bathin' in the city aqueduct 
"wherever there's a system beating us up 
Wherever a hungry newborn baby cries 
Where there's a fight 'gainst the blood and hatred in the air 
Look for me  . . I'll be there 
Wherever there's somebody fightin' for a place to stand 
Or decent job or a helpin' hand 
Wherever somebody's strugglin' to be free 
Look in their eyes . . .  you'll see me."

MAYBE WE WON`T MEET AGAIN

. . . she got a postcard in the mail
That just said Heaven,with a picture of the ocean and the beach
The simple words he wrote her
Said he loved her
How he'd hold her if his arms would reach
Wish you were here, wish you could see this place
Wish you were near,Wish I could touch your face
The weather's nice, it's paradise
It's summertime all year and there's some folks we know
They say, "Hello, "
I miss you so, wish you were here"
