Who broke my window, and walk off with my tv. set?
Could it have been a friend, or that stranger I just met?
I bet it was that bum, who did it, so he could buy some crack.
I'm going to find him, kick his ass, and make him give it back.
I know just where he will sell it.... down on fifth, and race.
I'm just going to walk right up to him, and smash him in his face.
Man...when I got there, all I saw was misery.
I came down here, just for a tv.?
Yeah, there he is just as I had thought.
I rushed him, he droped the set, and he and I wrestled, and fought.
I got him down, and as I was about to break his jaw.
Out of the corner of my eye, a little girl I saw.
Please don't rob my daddy....here I have same money.
Two dirty nickles in her hand, damn, isn't that funny?
A homeless child would give her last dime to save her father's life.
Here I am fighting over some tv, boy...that cut me like a knife.
I got up off of him, and helped him to his feet.
He said, "Young brother, you would kill me for a tv., but would let me
starve on the street?"
"I did it to feed my family, not to buy some crack."
"As soon as I got back on my feet, I was going to pay you back."
I tried to speak, but could find the words..... I'm speechless, it seems.
On the ground I saw my busted tv. set, but to him it was shattered dreams.
I gave him every cent I had on me, and I apologized.
He gave me a big hug, and thanks with tears in his eyes.
As I walk home I thanked GOD for all that he has done.
That brother could have had a nice tv set, and I could have been the
homeless one.
Thank you Jesus.
