Eternal Return

As I was walking down my avenue

I saw a bird perched on the tree

I was ready to collect revenue

When I stopped to see

A poor man stumbled onto the sidewalk

To find his lost son

As he came to me to talk

I found he was a lost one

This man wishes for the eternal return

The finding of his kin

He feels his deep concern

His son left because of his sin

As I felt sorrow for the man

I heard that he was nine

I said, "I'll do whatever I can"

And him I went to find

Cornered by the dangers of gangs

Confronted by the peril of the streets

I felt so scared I sang

and crime took a seat

I wish for the Eternal return

The man's own lost kin

I felt powerful concern

As the man was scared of his own sin
