Benevolent Man
A Benevolent Journey: Exploring Life's Trials and Triumphs
Lyrics
I saw him on the corner of the east side
I observed him standing on the corner of the east side.
Walking in the street for a free ride
He was walking in the street, possibly hoping for a free ride.
Mm hm
(Expression of agreement or acknowledgment)
I could see he'd seen a lot of bad time
It's evident that he has experienced challenging times.
So I asked him then if he had time
I inquired if he had a moment, expressing concern.
Mm hm
(Expression of agreement or acknowledgment)
Am I an irrelevant man
Questioning his significance or importance, possibly in a self-reflective manner.
I do the best that I can
Asserting that he is doing the best he can in his actions.
Am I a benevolent man
Questioning if he embodies a kind and compassionate person.
I do the best that I can
Reaffirming his commitment to doing the best he can.
My eyes have been on the horizon
His focus has been on a distant and stable goal or aspiration.
Somethin' steady I can keep my eyes on
Seeking something constant to anchor his attention.
Mm hmm
(Expression of agreement or acknowledgment)
I don't wanna go back to the east side
Expressing a reluctance to return to a difficult or troubled past on the east side.
Even if I knew I had a free ride
Even if a free ride were assured, he is hesitant to go back.
Mm hmm
(Expression of agreement or acknowledgment)

Indicating that he has a unique or intriguing relationship with time.
Relationship with time
Describing the complexity of his connection with time.
It's always running out
Time is consistently running out for him.
Just when I hit my prime
Just as he reaches his best years or condition.
Sounds like the same old tune
Comparing his situation to a familiar, repetitive pattern or circumstance.
But now I swear that I'm
Now, he expresses a determination to change that pattern.
Ready for a song
Declaring readiness for a different and improved experience.
Where the lyrics finally rhyme
Aspiring for a song where the lyrics finally come together harmoniously.

Revisiting the theme of his own significance or relevance.
I do the best that I can
Affirming that he is making the best effort he can.
