Homeless Lyrics

I went to college and got my degree

My whole world was in front of me

Found a good job and had lots of friends

Who would have thought it would come to an end

Looking back, things were so great

Now look at me in my current state

I'm homeless on the street. Can't escape the heat

Wondering when I'll eat, Or if I'll find a place to sleep

All of a sudden, my world lost its star

All that was safe fell apart

My fall was so shocking that even close friends

Were at a loss to comprehend

Looking back, there were some clues

But I'd always make some sort of excuse

I'm homeless on the street, Others just like me

Too proud to show they're beat, and holding on to dignity

Fate took a turn. In a doorway I woke

And kind strangers offered some hope

They helped me get steady and to believe

Brought me to a Shelter, got me on my feet

Now, I'm looking ahead, and I can't wait

I've got new purpose. I have renewed faith

Their community taught me skills to succeed

They gave me food to eat. The Shelter rescued me

There may always be homeless left to roam

But Shelters always seek a place for them to call home
