a stranger handed this boy a dollar to do a simple chore
to carry a package to a nearby hotel
and when he returned he'd get two more
but when he came back he sort of lost his way walking thru the crowd
one of them things you ask yourself, how the Lord allowed
but when he was found he was like he is now
dreaming sweet and still
and in his little hand was a crumpled dollar bill
now you can take that dollar
get four cents on it compound it quarterly at any downtown bank
so they can back some hot new tank or atom bomb
well, what I'm going to tell you now, you can stay or you can leave
you kind of listened to my story so far but just one more thing
it's the same for any hippie, bum or hillbilly out on the street
just remember this little boy and never carry more than you can eat
now could you help us sing this song, please
there will be peace in the valley for him now we pray
I will think of the little hippie boy that way
