Homeless Lyrics

Try standing in your shoes

But that's no help to you

It's really not that much

To smile and offer love

So hard to pass you by

Can't look you in the eye

The hand you offer me

So hard for me to see

It's not your fault

No one is there

I know the reasons why

No Government to even care

I know how hard you try

I try to feel your pain

It's really not the same

It's not your fault

No one is there

I know the reasons why

No Government to even care

I know how hard you try

There isn't any shame

Another lonely day

No money to your name

It isn't any shame

If only we could see

What you were meant to be

The light that shines in you

The person that we knew

What you were meant to be

Why can't we be the same?

The world is full of beauty

The yachts and private planes

How are we to know

The suffering you show

The things that you go through

But I cannot believe

How can we see

The pain and grief

The person that I see

And walk away so easily

Is not the same as me

Someone to touch your skin

And feel the warmth within

A chance to be the same

I saw you in the church

No shoes upon your feet

The candle that you lit

To try to get the heat

And we are not the same

And I just feel such shame

That we can live like this

And walk away from pain

You're just the same as me

You're just the same as me

It isn't any shame

There isn't any shame
