Homeless

A smile from your face
A touch from your hand
Yes, I do understand
You've lived a life alone all these years
And you've cried many tears
Your heart fell like a rock that day
When your whole life was washed away
Your mind keeps repeating the fearful sight
Of living in the cold every night
Homeless, hunger pains, and now smiles to see
and that's all you think you'll ever be
