Homelessness

We're down on our knees Begging you please For wanting a which way to go Are you listening at all Uouve forsaken our call Oh why is your answer so slow Chorus Are we worthy of peace and tranquility We need but a token from thee We're not striving for wealth Just the way things are dealt Seem a little unfair don't you see She's tired and she's weary In truth it's just scarey Don't know where she'll end up tomorrow She's black and she's blue Try'n'a think what to do As each avenue's led her to sorrow Chorus He just wants a house He'll be quiet as a mouse You won't even know that he's there A real fixer-upper He'll sing for his supper Now tell him if you think that's fair Chorus So if you've a plan For this ordinary man Then wont you just, please, let me know I'll take a yes maybe For me and my baby As we wade through the sleet and the snow Chorus to fade
