When you’re flat broke, living in your car,
when what’s left in the tank won’t get you far
you hold on to hope like a shining star
& it’s times like these, when you find out
Who your true friends are
They’re the neighbors who will help you out
Who know what Love is all about

A young man sitting on a sidewalk bench,
talking to an old man who was drinking White Port wine,
The wino’s speech was kind of slurring, and it looked like he’d been crying,
He said:
“I wasn’t always like this, kid,
there were some years I really shined,
I’d give anything, if I could go back in time”
The young man took the bottle from him, took him by the hand
saying: “you can overcome this, you can be free again,
and if you’re willing to help yourself, I’ll help you any way I can”

Huddled around a trash can fire fighting to keep warm
with growling empty bellies, clothes tattered,torn
Many people pass them by & look at them with scorn
but they are someone’s sons & daughters
Their lives matter too, so help them out
& think about that they could be me or you

Life’s not always easy
Sometimes it whips us black & blue
but it’s good to know others have our back
& know what we’re going through
Sometimes when you’re at your lowest
You need good friends to carry you
