Living In a Shoe Box

Living in a shoe box It's not much but it's yours The space you're in is small The height isn't tall But you feel so safe there With the world outside your door No one to bother you No one at all Living in a shoe box It's not much but it's yours You don't see much out there No window or a door But that just don't bother you Your happy with it all Living in a shoe box It's not much but it's yours Sometimes you wonder Is there any more You think about escaping But are you really sure The space you're in is safe Nothing there can harm Living in a shoe box It's not much but it's yours You'll probably die quietly Your life will just slip away You should've made a door way Seen that life is fun Much more to discover Much more could be done But you're living in a shoe box It's not much but it's yours Living in a shoe box It's not much but it's yours Date: 1999

I work as a volunteer at Kelowna Gospel mission. Many of these men would appreciate a small private space to call their own. A small thing can be a truly big thing when it’s your own.
