Lyrics
V1: I've been helpless, I've been homeless
I've been hungry, I've been scared
Through it all one thing I know is
You are always there
In my thoughts, in my dreams
In my deepest, darkest prayers
You never ever let go of me
You let me know somebody cares
Cho: You are my hope, my guiding light
You keep me safe and warm at night
My shining star, my saving grace
You'll always have a place in my heart
V2: I don't know how I became
Just another person on the street
I was born into the world
Of the privileged elite
But something happened on my journey
I fell hard and I fell far
That's when I learned how adversity
Teaches us who our true friends are
Cho:
V3: When you see on the corner
You never pass me by
You pull me close, keep me warm
And catch the tears I cry
You never ask me how I got here
You just take my hand in yours
So I know I need not fear
You make sure I am secure
Cho:
