Henry Lyrics

Henry you, you didn't say a word to me

Maybe you didn't even want to give me that light

There's not one, not a single soul still living

From when you were young

It's just the good Lord, you and your bike

You and your bike on Claiborne Avenue

Five dollars please, for a shower at the shelter

You and your bike on Claiborne Avenue

You learned my name, said thanks and walked away

Henry our, our complexions lurk beneath our words

White devil's deeds never cease, there's no end in sight

Cause it's a hate of man, it's buried in the skin of my fathers

But I believe fellow feeling flowed between our chests

But what I think, it isn't worth a dime at the shelter

Or on the street, there's not a feeling that flows hard enough

None but righteous rage, valued as a truth, and not feared

How can forgiveness heal when the shooters don't even see a crime

Up from my chest, an open avenue

5 dollars please for a shower at the shelter

I kept the faith that we might be neighbors yet

But you Henry you, I won't ever know

You and your bike on Claiborne Avenue

Five dollars please, for a shower at the shelter

You and your bike on Claiborne Avenue

You learned my name, said thanks and walked away
