Lyrics
Homeless Child
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Nowhere here
to call my home
no one near
to call my own
all that's left
is for me to roam
somebody please
help me hang on
Homeless child
homeless child
what is left
for the homeless child
There is no night
and there is no day
it is all
one shade of gray
some will pass
and some will stay
is this the end
or just one more day
Homeless child
homeless child
what is left
for the homeless child
Sure not much
but it's my best
I just need
some place to rest
if you could just
let me be your guest
I won't burden you
for very long
Homeless child
homeless child
what is left
for the homeless child
