Lyrics
I DO WHAT I CAN TO HELP
IN THIS HOPELESS SITUATION
I TRY TO KEEP FOLKS STRONG
TRY TO EASE ALL THE FRUSTRATION
IT’S NOT A SIMPLE TASK WHEN
YOU’RE LIVING ON THE STREET
WITH NO JOB IN SIGHT
AND A DUMPSTER’S WHERE YOU EAT
NO ONE WANTS TO BE HERE
THAT’S A SIMPLE FACT
AND THE LONGER THAT WE STAY
THE HARDER IT IS TO MAKE IT BACK
THEY LOOK TO ME FOR GUIDANCE
AND I SHOW THEM WHAT I KNOW
STAYING WARM AND FED
AND SURVIVING IS THE GOAL
I WISH FOR BETTER DAYS
WHERE WE AREN’T SO ALONE
WHEN NO ONE’S LOOKING DOWN ON US
AND WE ALL HAVE A HOME, BECAUSE…
NO ONE WANTS TO BE HERE,
THAT’S A SIMPLE FACT
AND THE LONGER THAT WE STAY,
WELL – THERE’S NO TURNING BACK
NO ONE WANTS TO BE HERE,
THAT’S A SIMPLE FACT
AND THE LONGER THAT WE STAY
THE HARDER
IT IS
TO MAKE IT BACK
