Song about the ills of those who are forgotten in our society.
Lyrics
I had it all in the palm of my hand
But I built my house on a pile of sand
The rain came along and it washed me away
Left me alone under these skies so gray
Can't find a fix cause I'm broken
Can't take a breath cause I'm chokin'
Strangers pretend not to see me
I put out my cup but it's empty
The loneliness eats at my soul everyday
I’m lost on this earth and I’m fading away
All that I ask is for some dignity
All that I need is for someone to see
My humanity…
Moving along like a ghost on the street
I’m feeling so cold then I’m feeling the heat
My only possessions are packed in this cart
Praying for luck as I tear trash apart
Can't catch a break when I’m hungry
Can’t find a place to rest easy
This world is so cruel when you’re nobody
They don’t give a damn, got no money
