Through their eyes I see the instruments of hope and in their faces I hear decayed dreams whistling through the hollow silence of these forgotten streets where only those with strength can cope; they are the many lives who reach out to be heard in this place where very few stop to listen to their song but tears dry strong because in this world everyone needs to feel they belong.
In their hearts I feel the blues; single mothers standing on street corners because they have nothing else to loose. Selling their soul for survival just to stop the heavy beats of starvation from silencing their young childβs future ovation. They do what they need just to find a way to feed as poverty has become their song but their tears dry strong because in this world everyone has a place to belong.
I hear in their voices the echoes of many cold lonely nights -- some are familiar strangers lost and confused and others are old searching for something out here to feel and to hold. No amount of spare change can heal their minds because they were left without a home as alone they stand as a song but their tears dry strong because in this world everyone needs to know they belong.
