I didn't used to live here
I never thought I'd beg for money
Had a job and nice cloths
I used to be somebody, somebody
(Chorus)
Somebody won't you reach out, just see me
These dirty streets don't own me
I've hit on some hard times, now I'm standing in a bread line
Not looking for a free ride
Just need a chance to turn the tide
and if you look inside, You might see me
(2nd verse)
There's an ocean in between us
Though you're just two steps away
and the shame that I keep bleeding
Washed my dignity away, Don't turn away
Somebody won't you reach out, just see me
These dirty streets don't own me
I've hit on some hard times,
Now I'm standing in a bread line
Not looking for a free ride
Just need a chance to turn the tide
and if you look inside, You might see me
(Bridge)
It's cold here in the shadows, and even colder in the light.
(3rd verse)
Sometimes I wake from dreaming that everything's alright,
and I always count my blessings
Because I made it through the night, tonight.
(Chorus)
Somebody won't you reach out, just see me
these dirty streets don't own me
I've hit on some hard times
Now I'm standing in a bread line
Not looking for a free ride
Just need a chance to turn the tide
and if you look inside
You might see me
