I went to the lake to see if I could catch some fish
There was a man walking carrying a bright silver dish
He look so sad standing there in a battered shirt
And when I ask a question he would just look down to the dirt
Hey I said the boat is going out and there is a empty seat
Would you like to go along it would be really neat
So in the middle he did sat as we got on our way
I watch him reach out as the front of the boat would make a small spray
Laughter would come out as it seamed he was enjoying the ride
As I look down I could see the shiny dish sitting by his side
So I ask him what the dish was for
And he said it was to help feed the poor
When you would look at him you knew that he had nothing
But as he gave it made him feel like he was doing something
So I will remember the day we went to fish
And meet a man holding on to a shiny dish
