No home
NO HOME
I turn to you for help
You turn your face away from me
I turn to you in tears
You act like you can't see.
Can't you see me turn to you
Can't you see my tears
Can't you see my pleas for help
To wash away these fears.
I call to you in desperate plight
You turn as if you want to fight
I turn to you once again
All you do is push me away.
Can you hear me calling you
Can you hear me call your name
Can’t yiu see my desperate pleas
Can you not push me away.
Why don’t you listen to me
Is it because I have no home
Why can’t you just try and see
Why I feel so alone.
I call to you for help
I call to you once again
I see your face change colour
I can also see your shame.
