Rough sleeping focuses the mind unlike
Anything you or I might find, in affluent life
Societal affirmation's worthless when
Your peers can't see the hole you're in, or where you've been
When you're Streetbed ridden, with no roof, protecting you
Yea you're Streetbed Ridden, Don't need proof, its not too cruel
Sometimes you can't undo or press rewind
A rope contracts you're going blind, what's on your mind?
Grave notions hasten through a troubled head
In the wake of mortal gun fired lead, it remains unsaid
When you're Streetbed ridden, with no roof, protecting you
Yea you're Streetbed Ridden,
Don't need proof, its not too cruel to be true
I wake up to face a brand new day, can't take no more no way
I'm leaving tomorrow, I'm leaving tomorrow
How have I slipped between the lines, I've tried to do things right
I'm leaving tomorrow, I'm leaving tomorrow
A rat-race that makes me cry in fear, streetlights dissolve my tears
I'm leaving tomorrow, I'm leaving tomorrow
You're now obscure to those you see
A ghost now banished to the street
When you're Streetbed ridden, with no roof, protecting you
Yea you're Streetbed Ridden, don't need proof, its not too cruel
When you're living not believin, spending all your recreational time
Coming-going, its not really livin
Give somebody your time, we're only borrowing time
Keep on dreamin' and believin
In the power of an infinite kindness in your being
That's really livin
Give somebody your time, we're only borrowing time
We're only borrowing time, (it's not too cruel)
We're only borrowing time, (it's not too cruel to be true)
