He lays his weary head to rest On the solid concrete ground Once aspired to be best Till all came tumbling down The sodden stranger in the rain Abandoned by his town The people drive or walk on by Help no where to be found
He walks the streets both night and Day In search of something right No guard from summer's hottest rays Or winter's chilling plights The man would never pray away A day so hard in spite Each memory of yesterday Reduced to bile blight
The man you see is someone's son Who's lived a bitter life A feeling you could be the one To walk the sharpest knife A toast to those who bear the shun And some barely alive To sonder's overwhelming stun And Earth's unending strife
