I USE TO HEAR A LULLABYOH SO SOFT AND SWEET
I USE TO HAVE A PLACE TO REST
AND SHOES UPON MY FEE
A FAMILY THAT LOVED ME
AND ALWAYS PLENTY TO EAT
AS I SIT HERE IN THIS OLD COLD BOX
I WONDER AND CAN'T SEEM TO GRASP
HOW THINGS GOT THE WAY THEY GOT
TODAY I HAVE ONLY THE CLOTHES
THAT I CAN CARRY
USE TO BE I HAD CLOSET'S
AND DRANK FINE SHERRY
YOU SEE WE AREN'T PROMISED TOMORROW
ND KNOW NOT WHAT THE DAY MAY BRING
FOR NOW I'M JUST HOMELESS
BUT TOMMORROW MIGHT BE A KING
SO NEVER ASSUME THAT YOU ARW ABOVE IT ALL
NO ONE EVER KNOWS WHEN TRIALS MIGHT FALL
IF YOU SEE A BROTHER BESIDE THE ROAD
TEY TO HELP AND EASE HIS LOAD
FOR NO ONE CAN BE SURE THAT THIS MISFORTUNE
THAT IS SO CLEAR,WON'T HAPPEN TO US
OR THE ONES WE LOVE SO DEAR
TRY TO SEE LIFE AS IT IS IN A HOMELESS EYE
