Verse1
There's a mCan on the streets, laAmying on the ground,
waEmtching all the people, Gas they walk around,
its veCry cold outside, aAms he lifts his head,
aEmnd then i felt his pain as Gi see his bed.
Chorus
TCell me why i reAmally want to know
buEmt everytime i ask the Ganswers always no
tell mCe why he sAmaid just for a dime
Emand so i sat on my seat Gand said ill make the time,
Verse 2
I took him to a cafe, for a bite to eat,
he said wow what a feeling, to get off the streets,
he said he had a job with really good pay,
and then a mental illness came and took it all away,
CHORUS
Verse 3
Now he's really bad, and he's all left alone,
all because some person took away his home
these days its different, on streets disease is spread,
and now the man on the streets he aint alive he's dead,
