Homeless

I am homeless
I am me
Look into my eyes
Tell me what you see

I was somebody once, in another life
But now I'm dirty and I'm cold
I am young
But this life has made me old

A plastic cup in my hand
A piece of cardboard is where I stay
I look up at you with defeated eyes
As you look the other way

So here I sit
On the sidewalk of a city street
They say it's the city of brotherly love
But I can't find anything to eat

A few bucks might help
But really it won't
I don't know how to become someone else
Which is what I really want

Just look into my eyes
Can you really see
That I am homeless
But I am me
