Story behind the song
I started out trying to compose an electronic tune, something like the Forensic Files theme, but then a strange inspiration hit me and with a few modifications this wildly different ballad took shape, complete with lyrics written within 25 minutes. I had some experience with homeless people decades ago. Of course, the problem is getting much more serious now.
Lyrics
My father left when I was three, my mother died and set me free To chart my way through foster homes and the like I hardly knew right from wrong, or why anyone would write this song My grades were fair but I was scared and alone And now I'm homeless on the street No roof or walls and little to eat Tomorrow brings uncertainties And you can judge me as you please When I was old enough to leave, I had no clue what to believe But like my folks I was broke and in need I fell in with the worst of sorts, for theft and drugs I faced the courts I did some time, probation too, I tell you And now I'm homeless on the street No roof or walls and little to eat Tomorrow brings uncertainties And you can judge me as you please I met some folks on these streets Some much kinder than me And now they're homeless on the street No roof or walls and little to eat Tomorrow brings uncertainties And you can judge them as you please Yes, now we're homeless on the street No roof or walls and little to eat Tomorrow brings uncertainties...
