Who are we among those here
We are the lost most sincere
Forgotten and alone
Living under the streetlights
Rats infest our beds
Roaches crawl through our 
Homes day by day
How is it that we have come to be this way


Scavenge for food
Ask for a handout
We have become derelicts 
Even in our homes
Who will be the one
To make us feel wanted
Who will give us what we need
Not scorn or derision


We are the lost
We are the forgotten
We are the ones society does not care about
We are the ones you avoid


Sitting in a pit of despair
Berating us for this
A hell of a living nightmare
See the scene play itself out
Is there redemption to be had
Salvation and a cup of tea
Who will keep us from drowning
In this concrete sea


Feel this loneliness
Surround me 
Feel this solitude
Become my norm
Now to the wind and cold
They too are my oppressors
Can you see where I’ve been
Can you see where I should go
