I pass by a street of broken lives Of dreams not even dreamt Of hands as dark as the night Begging for a piece of bread I pass by a man with a foot long beard His teeth no longer complete With his face of danger bypassers feared And his hair as gray as the street I pass by a woman who sits on the side Her legs tired and her dignity gone Her ******* consumed by a little child Who has no idea of what's going on I pass by a girl and a boy who play Both so innocent as they enjoy Not even hoping to go and runaway But rather revelling themselves without a toy I pass by happiness as well as sorrow Through the sidewalk and across the road I pass by hopes of having another tomorrow And the hope of having one's own abode

A Walk of Life
I pass by a street of broken lives Of dreams not even dreamt Of hands as dark as the night Begging for a piece of bread I pass by a man with a foot long beard His teeth no longer complete With his face of danger bypassers feared And his hair as gray as the street I pass by a woman who sits on the side Her legs tired and her dignity gone Her ******* consumed by a little child Who has no idea of what's going on I pass by a girl and a boy who play Both so innocent as they enjoy Not even hoping to go and runaway But rather revelling themselves without a toy I pass by happiness as well as sorrow Through the sidewalk and across the road I pass by hopes of having another tomorrow And the hope of having one's own abode
