Someone's Child

Someone's Child

(Album: A Way To Survive - 1997)

He stands in the rain begging for change as people pass him by
And once in a while, he'll get a nod or a smile with nickels and dimes
But when the sun goes down in his part of town and cold wind blows
He'll find his way in the dark to a bench in the park where no one knows

Someone used to rock him on their knee
And when he's cry, they'd sing him lullabies till he was fast asleep
They say he had his daddy's eyes, his momma's smile
Oh, they loved him so, but that was long ago when he was someone's child

The word on the street was he had a degree & a big house in LA
But when it comes to his past, don't bother to ask 'cause he's got nothing to say
People frown and put him down, no one seems to care
That that's one of us down on his luck standing there

Someone used to rock him on their knee
And when he's cry, they'd sing him lullabies till he was fast asleep
They say he had his daddy's eyes, his momma's smile
Oh, they loved him so, but that was long ago when he was someone's child

Then the flashing lights light up the night and the sirens scream
And as he breaths his last breath, he drops a photograph that no one's seen
They say he had his daddy's eyes, his momma's smile
Oh, they loved him so, but that was long ago when he was someone's child
