Lyrics
Instrumental Intro
Verse 1
A little boy,
ragged and cold
Only life he's ever known
Eats scraps left behind
Sleeps in doorways at night
When morning comes
No one there to love
Pre Chorus 1
Livin' on the streets
The signs read broken dreams
Chorus
Alone
Nightmare with no escape
Cold and lonely every day
Clothes covered in dirt
Face full of hurt
Hunger feeds the fear
He talks and no one hears
Wants love someone to help
A hand to hold
Not to be alone
World's cruel to a child without a home
Verse 2
His world is heartache
No good just pain
Left on his own
Eyes have no hope
Talks to the wind It doesn't listen
Pre Chorus 2
Cries a silent tear
Alone but for fear
Repeat Chorus
Instrumental Bridge
Vocal Bridge
If you think life is unfair
Sure no one cares
Curse what's been done
You can go home you're the blessed one
Repeat Chorus
