A Homeless Life - songwriting

My name is Dan McGillivray , I,ve written on this site many times, and I,m asking all you songwriters out there a favor. There's a clinic in Albany where the Dr. treats people for free.He is my friend, and now my Dr.I'll write a song about the homeless ,and please I,m really pleading for you to send a contribution to -Koinonia Primary Care 553 Clinton Ave Albany,N.Y 12206 As songwriters you know what needing money is like,Thank you so much.I look forward to reading myself.

A Homeless Life

It's below zero again tonight
And all the missions are locked up tight
With some luck I may get a bed tomorrow
Tonight it lonesome, frostbite, and sorrow
With so many vacant buildings just a waste
Most of us if oermitted could fix the space
I know so many willing, able,and could
to wake up with windowswith four peins of wood

People shuffle right on by
Most won't look you in the eye
You sit there like a flower about to wilt
And even if it's not our fault we still feel guilt

I start my day the same old way
all the degadeing thing's I do or say
Hey Sir can you spare some change
There are so many that do the smug they snear
And the smartass always ays yeah get a beer
I think those are the one that don't realize

That there a paycheck from looking through my eyes
And one thing most of us at one time were that Guy

People thing they we want it this way
Oh he's to lazy thats where he should stay
There's a thousand stories out on these streets
I'll tell don't listen while you eat

Many just say why don't they get a job
I'm sure that someone will hire you,no phone
address, no I.D dirtyclothes.yeah you got the job
But when I find a place to sleep
I say my prayers , and most times I weap
I'm ashamed to see my family,
There eyes tear up when they look at me
I'm writing of a person not me

In the summer the heat can help
But the sreets to be much meaner
any young kids will beat you for fun
So many of them and you just one

The streets can be never beat
But you surely can
When your all broke up,feeling all so sad
Remember what were doing here
Musicians always are the firsr to help
I;m asking for a little bit,It's a great cause
Without a plan,and the bleses man some will lose all hope


Thank You so much
remember, I know that the song lacked this or that
but I did whatever to get you the message please help
