TEARS FLOWED
PANGS OF GUILT
EMBARRASSED
CHILDREN HUNGRY
LIVING ON THE STREETS
YOUR NEEDED

NO WHERE TO TURN
NO END IN SIGHT
EACH DAY A STRUGGLE
IT GETS HARDER
DON’T GIVE UP
YOU’RE NEEDED

KIDS IN THE TENT
NO FATHER IN SIGHT
SHELTERS ARE CROWDED
PANTRIES ARE BARE
STREETS AREN’T SAFE
YOU’RE NEEDED

FEELING DESPAIR
WANT TO GIVE UP
KEEP ON PUSHING
YOU MAKE A DIFFERENCE
GAIN STRENGTH
YOU’RE NEEDED

WILL IT EVER END
DAYS, MONTHS, YEARS PASS
STREETS ARE MY HOME
FOOD IS SCARCE
KIDS ARE MY LIFE
YOU’RE NEEDED
