Em D C
Take the hand of that little child, living out on the street.
Em D C
No place to survive through this cold, cold nights lost
all his strength to believe.
Em D C
He is just one out of millions and they all share the same fate.
Em D C
No opportunity to change his life before it might be too late.
D – C – Em | D – C – Em
Em D C
See there’s a beggar under the bridge building his cardboard-home.
Em D C
Some beggar’s friends surrounding him at least he won’t die alone.
Em D C
Origin unknown, all his traces are gone Disowned by his own family.
Em D C
Just look away and forget what you saw there’s no room in our
society.

Refrain:

Something’s wrong with the world today.
A C D
So much pain and anger on their ways.
A C D
How can you say things are good?
C D Em D C
While people are dying out of poorness in your neighborhood?
Em D C
Well you win and you lose some that’s the way it goes It’s like
that day by day.
Em D C
But for those who got nothing that’s worth living for life is much
more than a game.
Em D C
Don’t get me wrong, I’m not the chosen one I’m no priest
and no saint.
Em D C
But is this the life everyone wishes for? Well, I guess
that it ain’t!

Em D C
This skinny girl under the streetlights she seems so beautiful.
Em D C
But there’s a sad smile upon her face she’s looking for
something more.
Em D C
She is a gift to all the strangers who are willing to pay
for her “work”.
Em D C
And late at night when her job is done he washes away all
that dirt.
