Alone

Loneliness is just an echo
That pierces thru your soul
There's no one for you to talk to
And you have no place to go

You're always filled with sorrow
Cause no one seems to care
No one wants to listen 
To the things you have to share

Like the man alone out on the street
With no place to lay his head
Newspapers for his pillow
And a park bench for his bed

Or the woman in that cardboard box
That she calls her humble home
She's lost without redemption
With no family of her own

So just take a minute to listen
And show them that you care
Cause anything could happen
And it could be you out there
