Lyrics

[Verse 1]
No where here to call my home
No one near to call my own
All that's left is for me to roam
Somebody please, help me hang on
[Verse 2]
Homeless child, homeless child
Mmm, homeless child
Homeless child, homeless child
What is left for the homeless child?
[Verse 3]
There is no night and there is no day
It is all one shade of grey
Some will pass, and some will stay
Is this the end, or just one more day?
[Verse 4]
Homeless child, homeless child
Mmm, homeless child
Homeless child, homeless child
What is left for the homeless child?
[Verse 5]
Sure not much, but it's my best
I just need some place to rest
If you could just let me be your guest
Lord, I won't burden you for very long
[Verse 6]
Homeless child, homeless child
Mmm, homeless child
Homeless child, homeless child
What is left for the homeless child?
