Street Youth
There are children out there with nowhere to go
Who have to sit and freeze out in the snow
They are the next victims of the street
With nowhere to go but bad people to meet
They are like the dead who have been forgot
With no warm homes or proper food that is hot
Instead they get sucked into doing drugs
Or even transformed into terrible child thugs
These children once loved in a good home
Left out on the streets to live on their own
So tell me the truth, is this what you wanted?
A world of children whose thoughts get haunted
Haunted by abuse and their drugs illusions
By the alcohol and the phony delusions
That their dreams are nothing but hopeless
And their poor lives are totally wasted
You tell me what you were thinking
When saw one and could almost see their hopes sinking
