I fell in love with a man,
We thought our son was our saving grace,
We thought living in a homeless shelter,
Was only a temporary stay.
At first it was hard, but we had each other
And our love was our rock and support
We had all of our conversation,
Yet nothing we said could move us ahead,
Every night he said he'd find a better place
Our son was surrounded by sadness,
His future wasn't looking that great,
We could feel the despair in the air,
And we just could no longer wait.
Though we're still in the shelter,
There's a glimmer of light that's seen,
We can still take a positive road,
And happiness can still be achieved.
