I have seen the sorrow, I have seen the pain.
I have seen the homeless, standing in the rain.
The shelters are filled, there are people in the street.
They have holes in their clothes, and no shoes on their feet.

I have seen garbage cans filled, with uneaten food.
I have seen children so *****, some think it is crude.
Some people will help, though not enough care.
With the winter approaching, it just isn't fair.

I have seen the hungry, I have seen them cry.
I have seen the elderly, right before they die.
Is life really this cruel? Not to help those in need.
To turn your backs on everyone, even when they bleed.

I have seen a solution, to this problem don't you see.
It will take a lot of people, the help I hope is free.
If a church could provide a shelter, could you be a friend.
Will you volunteer your time, and give a hand to lend?
