Yellow cabbie in a traffic jam - Architect of modern life
Sends his paycheck to Pakistan To feed his child and his wife
He works so hard, and his family is so far away
Honks his horn at the chiseled face of a frowning man
He just lost his girlfriend
I understand, I understand
How it feels slipping through your hands
'cause I'm hungry - I'm hungry for love, too
I'm hungry - I'm hungry. I'm hungry for love, too
I wanna cure cancer - I know that I can do it
You might think I'll eat my words... well...
If only I could chew it
'cause I'm hungry - I'm hungry for hope, too
Yes, I'm hungry - I'm hungry. I'm hungry for hope, too
Cabbie parked 'cause he was tired - Fell asleep in the fading light
The parking meter soon expired, but the policeman let him slide
I've seen that taxi now and then
From these concrete church steps on a cold winter night
He'd call me over, we'd share some laughs
Waiting at the traffic light, and he'd say...
I wanna catch a sunbeam, Hold it in my arms
Give it to you to keep you warm and free
and safe from harm
But I'm hungry - I'm hungry for home, too
Yes, I'm hungry - I'm hungry. I'm hungry for home, too
I'm hungry... I'm hungry, brother
But I'm filled with love, Yes, I'm filled with love
Oh, I'm filled with love...for you
