Every now and then there stands a man beside me
Standing right beside me but he aint there
I look him in the eyes in the eyes of a stranger
Well I keep running man this aint fair
And every now and then I see
All that life has given me
Well aint that what life’s all about
We’ve got to struggle to be free
Set your mind on higher things
Even when the men get out

Every now and then there stands a man behind me
Standing right behind me but he aint there, no
I look him in the eyes, in the eyes of a stranger
Well I aint running man I aint scared
Now the problem seems to be
Judging time for you and me
Aint that what life’s all about
We’ve got to struggle to be free
Set your mind on higher things
Even when the men get out
Yeah

Well every now and then I see
All that life has given me
Well aint that what life’s all about
If I can struggle to be free
Set your mind on higher things
Even when the men get out
