I've been hearing a lot about the homeless on the news lately, and it makes me very sad to hear about it, how cruel people can be, and the ignorance that abounds from the very people who should care about these poor souls. I wrote this song, hoping it's a powerful message and maybe a wake up call to find and show some much needed compassion for those in need. I hope someone can make something great out of this.

Intro: In the shadows of the city lights, echoes of the silent cries, On the streets where dreams have died, life's left out in the cold night sky.
Verse 1: Cardboard walls and broken dreams, spit on, pissed on, not unseen, No bed to rest, no place to be, in the chaos, just want to be free. Beaten down by life and man, "Get a job, you lazy bum,” they demand.
Pre-Chorus 1: In the doorways where I sleep, the city's heart does not weep, The wind whispers tales of pain, in this world of endless rain.
Chorus: Hopeless nights and endless days, wandering through life's maze, No escape from this despair, just a ghost that no one cares. Living in a cardboard box, shelter gone, hope's lost.
Verse 2: No beds left in crowded hostels, fentanyl's grip, the silent wrestle, Begging for a coin, a glance, lost in a life's cruel dance. Yelled at, scorned, and pushed aside, just trying to survive the ride.
Pre-Chorus 2: In the doorways where I hide, city’s heart won’t hear my cries, Shadows speak, and monsters play, the streets demand a price to pay.
Chorus 2: Hopeless nights in city parks, tents are homes where hope departs, In this maze of tarps and pain, lost souls linger in the rain. No escape from this despair, just a ghost that no one cares. Living in a tented sprawl, shelter gone, hope's small.
Bridge: In this endless night, there's no dawn, just shadows of the lost and gone, In every alley, every street, the story's sung in the beat.
Chorus 3: Hopeless nights with needles near, no safe place to quell the fear, In this maze of drugs and pain, lost souls searching in the rain. No escape from this despair, just a ghost that no one cares. Living in a haze of plight, no safe injection site, no end in sight.
Outro: In the shadows, I'll remain, a silent figure in the rain, On the streets where dreams have died, life's left out in the cold night sky.
