Homeless Child

Wake up it’s a new day, the old day is done

You can cry about it if you want

The rain in the river, the baby in your arms

Proud mother, you try so hard

Jesus christ, it don’t take much

To fall asleep beneath the burning sky

Oh my god, homeless child

The world will leave you breathless every time

Wake up it’s a new day, the old day forgot

You can start it over if you want

Clean and sober, a year coming up

Tiny daughter, unborn son

Jesus christ, it don’t take much

To lose the luck you been living on til now

Oh my god, homeless child

The world will leave you sleeping on the ground

Nothing but a string of broken chances

Strangers look away and walk on by

Nothing but a world without answers

Just another list, another endless line

Jesus christ, it don’t take much

To go from just enough to nothing in the end

Oh my god, homeless child

The world will leave you hanging by a thread
