I was working hard everyday
and then one day my life suddenly changed. Now we got nowhere to go.
We got nowhere to be. I'm living on the streets with my family

I loss my business my only means to support a family. I'm a father and mother of three boys and two girls I must feed.

I own an old car where we sleep and we eat. And when it's very hot we sleep on a bench near the streets.

We ravage trash cans for breakfast and lunch and if we're lucky enough we find apples to munch. We wash in McDonald's as we sneak and take turns
Before the manager shows up with deep over concerns.

I was working hard everyday and then one day my life it suddenly changed
Now we got no where to go. We got no place to be. I'm living on the streets with my family

My wife died in a hospital she got sick one day. I couldn't pay her medical bills then God took her away. Social service is not an option for me. Cause they'll take away my children, so from them I did flee.

I was working hard everyday. And then one day my life it suddenly changed. Now we got nowhere to go. We got
no place to be. I'm living on the streets with my family

I came here first, then brought my family here too. I came here for a better life, now what am I to do.
So we live on the streets my children and me. I'm an illegal alien and this is not my country.

I was working hard everyday and then one day my life it suddenly changed.
Now we got nowhere to go. We got nowhere to be. I'm living on the streets with my family.
