Just down on my luck.:
My eyes speak miles and my heart does too
Your impulse lies to you
don’t reject me I’m human too
as I go and sit next to you
There’s a lesson within these arms that
Speaks of tattered charms
Broken dreams with realities too
For one day this homeless one could be you
My pride is fragile
I hunger like you
I would scrub your floors if you would allow me to
Not looking for a handout you see
Just a way up like the morning sun hitting the leaves on the tree.
I have skills if you can see past the foul clothes that cover me
I have aged with dark days
Its not all ways bad there’s some sun in the days
So lend me your ear as we speak today
Please tell me of a warm place to stay
A cup of coffee and I will be on my way
Things would be better if I had a job and a place to stay.
I am down and out that’s all there is
I made a wrong direction and my wealth left me like a sieve.
Just give me an chance and you will see
That I can grow in mutual equality
