Cardboard Box

Living in that cardboard box Is a man I use to know He use to have everything But now he has no food or clothes I see the man everyday As I'm driving down the street He walks around carrying that sign To get some food to eat I see him out there in the rain Trying to find somewhere to hide It makes me stop and think Should I let him come inside I see him out there trying to get a job Because he has a family you know He has a wife and children too But that no one knows I see him out there all alone His family left his side But he still loves them dearly That's how he makes it through the nights I see him out there every night Looking up towards the sky He thanks God for what he's given And for never leaving his side Living in that cardboard box Is a man I use to know You see he is my father Or so that's what I'm told
