about
In the 20th century, in a country like ours nobody should be sleeping rough. Behind every person who is homeless is an untold story. They all have there own experiences, so don’t be to quick to judge and try and see beyond the person as they are today. Human warmth helps a person’s soul, so don’t just walk on by.
lyrics
HOMELESS
VERSE 1
You look at my face
does that mean you walk on by
better feel the truth
it's going to knock you off your stride
who knows what tomorrow dawn
will bring a laugh or cry
its just empty friendships and empty talk
it could be this year's holy story
and it's your good deed for the day
and the future is a lie
that's the way it is
that's the way it is
BRIDGE
Now spin around and feel
the real plant cycle
and stare around
I've sowed the seeds of no reversal
CHORUS
My Poverty is on the floor
will you watch me crawl
you think I'm high
don't see me cry
my backs against the wall
I'm homeless I'm homeless
I'm homeless I'm simply homeless
VERSE 2
Being duped for real
Was the healing of my wounds
why were the gates all locked up
and the key was thrown away
the scales of justice
ignored my sands of time
do what you think do what you know
cause the reality is going to hit you
I'm the only one alive
in this human goldfish bowl
BRIDGE
CHORUS
VERSE 3
Now wake up people
and go play on your tracks
and wake up people
believing God will bring
you back
bring you back
bring you back
