While investigating conditions at a state fair, I encountered the animal that inspired this song. I will never forget him

JUST LIKE YOU

©1994 JIM HARRIS

 

WENT TO THE CIRCUS
THAT CAME IN THE SPRING
JUST FOR SOME THING TO DO
IN A CORNER
IN AN OLD WOODEN CAGE
SAT A PEACOCK
ALL ALONE
STILL AND SILENT
BUT HIS EYES SEEMED TO SAY
WHAT DID I DO
WHAT DID I DO

 

 LOST IN THE CIRCUS
ALONE IN THE CROWD
NOBLE AND PROUD AND TRUE
WITH A PASSION
FOR A LIFE OF MY OWN
JUST LIKE YOU

 DEEP IN THE MOMENT
I STOOD IN HIS GAZE
SEARCHING FOR WAYS TO SAY
I AM SORRY, I AM ONLY ONE MAN
SMALL AND HELPLESS BY MYSELF
BUT I PROMISE
I WILL CHANGE WHAT I CAN
ALL AROUND ME
ALL AROUND ME

LOST IN THE CIRCUS
ALONE IN THE CROWD
NOBLE AND PROUD AND TRUE
WITH A PASSION
FOR A LIFE OF MY OWN
JUST LIKE YOU
CHANGE IS STARTED
BY A KINDHEARTED FEW
JUST LIKE YOU
