The Song of the Homeless
Am I not a person because I sleep on the streets at night?
Am I not a person because you think I've wasted my life?
You pass me on the corners and try your best to look away
You point the finger at me because I have no place to stay
But am I not a human because you think there's no heart left in me?
No, I am a human, it's just that you fail to see
