Till he fell and scraped his knees...

Now it's make believe

He did nothing wrong but he gotta pay the fees

And every time he'd fall, he'd rake the leaves

So much is messed in his world

From a to z

It's right in front of ya and

I'm just trying to make you see

what you ain't paying attention?

You got ADD?

Ah, maybe it's not you, maybe it's the weed

Nah, maybe it's me

I'm not talking about that hippie shit, like savin' a tree

Or the fathers not claimin their seeds

Or the gangs in the streets

I'm talkin' about them people that was raised from nothin'

Without a chance in they life that they could make it somethin'

it happens as we speak

People dying in the streets

Right in front of you and me

Same thing over seas

No one pays attention if it don't affect they own life

And it won't be in the paper 'cause thats the shit they don't write

1 day is one of 'em

2 days is two of them

3 days is more of em

4 days we still ignorin' em

5th day I wonder if we'll

6th day they suffering

If one day we'll have something more

He started life in no direction

And he had no help at home

And when he asked us for a dollar

We say “you gotta earn your own”

But we can't ignore it

It happens every day

But when the street's his only shelter,

How can we just turn away?



He never had a chance, right from the start

As good as it gets for him was sleepin' in a car

Raised in the streets, now he couldn't make ends meet

In the story of his life, he couldn't wait for the ending

He never loved his life, or the way he had to live it

Bummin' money on the corner, trying to make a livin'

Praying to his lord, God hear my wishes

Save me from this hell, and these horrible conditions

Depressed, so we gotta smoke the dope

Kept on following that path, on the road to cope

'Til they find him in a bathroom, overdosed

And when they ask what happened? No one knows

He kinda kept to himself, just a homeless folk

And so his story's never told, and nobody ever knows

And the trees just grow, as the world moves forward

Just one of the millions of lives ignored, it goes...

1 day is one of 'em

2 days is two of them

3 days is more of em

4 days we still ignorin em

5th day I wonder if we'll

6th day they suffering

If one day we'll have something more...
