Homeless

Whose gonna wipe your tears little boy,
walking down that lonely street.
No clothes on your back, no shoes on your feet.
Your broken heart held in your broken hands,
your dirty face trying hard to be a man.

But I expect you to wash my car,
no, I don't have any change.
Are you the one that stole my bag
when I tried to lend a hand?

Did your daddy beat you boy?
And your mommy too...
Did they send you here today,
just forget about school...
How many tears have you cried,
and how can I help you.
This is all I can give you baby,
what else must I do?

No, I don't need you to wash my car.
Yes, I have a little change.
If you're the one that stole my bag,
I hope you feel a little bad.
Do they take your money boy,
and drink it all away.
Do they also work the streets,
disgraced and ashamed...

Am I wrong?
Are they right?
I'll think about it when I'm warm tonight.
I'll think about you little boy,
what else should I do...
