From the recording No One Wins
Lyrics
<p> </p>
<p><em>(For William N.) </em></p>
<p> </p>
<p>A young man</p>
<p>A summer evening</p>
<p>It could be anywhere</p>
<p>He rides his bicycle</p>
<p>With the strong legs of youth</p>
<p>Two kids Challenge him to a fight</p>
<p>It could be anywhere</p>
<p>But he turns And rides the other way</p>
<p>Legs pumping hard</p>
<p>A shot rings out</p>
<p>The bullet catches up with him</p>
<p>A hundred feet down the road</p>
<p>Through his clothes</p>
<p>Through his skin</p>
<p>Through his spine</p>
<p>And the nerves within</p>
<p>No one wins</p>
<p>No one wins</p>
<p>It achieves nothing</p>
<p>In the end</p>
<p>Now he glides his wheelchair</p>
<p>With the strong arms of youth</p>
<p>A young man</p>
<p>A summer evening</p>
<p>It could be anywhere</p>
<p>No one wins</p>
<p>No one wins</p>
<p>It achieves nothing In the end </p>
