Somewhere Behind You

Somewhere behind you Lays a boy who needs a friend With a broken dream and a loose end Somewhere behind you Lays a man inflicted with affliction And a little girl that needs affection Somewhere behind you A lady is fully dressed in rag Carrying on her shoulder is an empty bag Somewhere behind you A little boy is shivering outside in the cold Looking for a warm hands to hold somewhere behind you A man is begging just for a slice of bread And a roof over is worried head Somewhere behind you A lame man is confined to his wheelchair And an aching kneel is planted on the ground in prayer Somewhere behind you A little boy yawns to be sent to school Even if it is just to go through preschool somewhere behind you A man is roaming the street with no shoes And few options in life to choose Somewhere behind you A lady is been abused just to get a job Good clothes,comfortable house and a good cream to rub Somewhere behind you There is a young man in desperate need of inspiration Someone to help fulfill his life aspiration Somewhere behind you A dry throat longing for a drink of water As he lays helplessly inside the gutter Somewhere behind you an eye is being abated with tears A little child is living his life in fear Somewhere behind you A stomach is echoing in hunger Alone on the street being left to suffer Somewhere behind you An helpless woman inside the rain with no coat Walking through life storms in an empty boat Somewhere behind you A little child is being denied of his right Being left to sleep outside at night Somewhere behind you A face is painted with sadness Starving and yawning for a glimpse of happiness Somewhere behind you A soul needs just 1 reason to keep believing A shining light of hope to keep living Somewhere behind you A hand is stretched out in need A broken heart is being left to bleed Somewhere behind you There is a sound of a cry just behind you Calling for you to help pull through Please don't turn deaf ear Show them the warmth of your care
