The boy under the bridge 

To the boy beneath the bridge
The one I call infrastructure 
And not his home "I'm sorry"
I know you stay beneath the steal
A home that's not but it feels so real

I know you stay out in the cold
And you're not bold enough 
To hold onto this reality
But trust me better days are coming 
At least that's what you're told

Each night you drown in tears
A lullaby you've sung for years
You wish for goodness to appear 
But year after year it only disappears

I know you're alone
And have the fear of the unknown 
You wish the future could be shown
But that idea is gone 

You wonder on the street 
Under the heat 
I mean you can't even have a seat
Because they'll push you away

And yet they tell you to reach beyond the blue
But why reach when there's no one for you
You'd rather die and say goodbye 
Then try

They don't care you're younger 
And die from hunger everyday 
Because they think you're stronger
And can hold on a little longer

You dream of wings breaking free
But chains of silence,lock your plea
If you walked passed him tonight 
Would you even see.?
