Would you know what it
feels like to steal and lie
To give up your hope your
faith in your pride.

To live in a streets with no
place to hide the pain that
I feel it's killing me inside.

You see it hurts me to know
that nobody cares about the
way that I walk or the clothes that I wear.

And as I'm standing on this corner going through this
trash can
I can hear the people say
are you crazy old man.

Get yourself a job get the
hell away go drop dead
some place you bum,
but who are they to say
we are not the same.

Oh yes we are the same. like you I had it all
and I was standing at the
top of the world
I show no love or
Compassion
for those who Slipped
and fell.

Now I'm standing at the
Bottom of the well.
lord forgive me
lord forgive me.

It's not like I can go back
to my family
they gave up on me
a long time ago.

I'm fragile and my health is failing but I got a Few miles
to go.
People tell me I should go
into a shelter but I've been
down that road before.

they will hurt you and rob
you at gunpoint so why
bother walking through
those doors.
I'm ashame embarrassed
and I'm sorry and I know
this wasn't God's plan.

I look down when people
walk by me
But there are times when I
catch them at a glance.

So please don't pass
judgement on me
and don't look at me
like I'm an alcoholic.

if you think that maybe
I'm a junkie
I can assure you
I'm just a man who's fallen.

you see people have there
dreams and I have mine to
Have a piece of
Americas pie.

To have a job and drive car To have my wallet full of
credit cards.

But then again just who
am I

I gave up my hope my faith in my pride.
I pray for compassion and a place to hide I hope there's a heaven if I should die.
