And the Arich man never heard theG poor man speak

And one by Gone

They ran aDway

With their Amade up minds

To leave it aGll behind

And the Glight began to Dfade

In the city on the Ahill

The city on the hill

Each one thought that they knew better

That they were different by design

Instead of standing strong together

They let their differences divide

It was the Astory of the poor man

That needed to be told
