I need a song with lyrics that could stand alone as a poem?

does anybody know any song that has lyrics that may be considered poetry by some
(lyrics can stand alone as poem requiring no performance or music)

Leader of the Band by Dan Fogelberg

"An only child alone and wild
A cabinet maker??s son
His hands were meant for different work
And his heart was known to none

He left his home and went his lone
And solitary way
And he gave to me a gift I know
I never can repay..."
