Lyrics of You did not have a home

Oh, you did not have a home
There were places you visited frequently
You took off your shoes and scratched your feet
'cause you knew that the whole world belonged to the meek
But you did not have a home, no, you did not have a home

And you did not take a wife
There were pretty maids all in a row
Who lined up to touch the hem of your robe
But you had no place to take them
So you did not take a wife, no you did not take a wife

Birds have nests, foxes have dens
But the hope of the whole world rests
On the shoulders of a homeless man
You had the shoulders of a homeless man
No, you did not have a home

Well, you had no stones to throw
You came here without an ax to grind
Did not tow the party line
No wonder sight came to the blind
You had no stones to throw, you had no stones to throw

And you rode an ass' foal
They spread their coats and cut down palms
For you and your donkey to walk upon
But the world won't find what it thinks it wants
On the back of an ass' foal, so i guess you had to get sold

'cause the world can't stand what it can't own
And it can't own you 'cause you did not have a home

Birds have nests, foxes have dens
But the hope of the whole world rests
On the shoulders of a homeless man
You had the shoulders of a homeless man
No, you did not have a

Birds have nests, foxes have dens
But the hope of the whole world rests
On the shoulders of a homeless man
You had the shoulders of a homeless man

And the world can't stand what it can't own
And it can't own you 'cause you did not have a home
