Lost Guy

(Verse 1) Little boy alone in a world so cold, No hand to hold, no story told, Mama's gone, left him in the night, Daddy never was there , always outta sight. He walks the streets, with shoes worn thin, Hunger in his eyes, life's wearing him thin, No shelter from the storm, no place to call home, Just a cardboard bed, and he's all alone. (Chorus) Why do I wander, with no place to go? Because home's just a dream, and dreams fade slow. Why do I shiver, in the cold night's air? Because love's been a ghost, never truly there. Why do I fight, for a life so tough? Because hope's all I have, even when it's not enough. Verse 2) Faces in the shadows, eyes filled with sin, He's just a child, but the streets pulled him in, Hands that once held toys now grip the wrong, Caught up in a game where everything's gone. Abused and bruised, trust turned to dust, In a world of deceit, who can he trust? Tears fall like rain, but no one sees his pain, In a concrete jungle, he's lost in the game. (Chorus) Why do I wander, with no place to go? Because home's just a dream, and dreams fade slow. Why do I shiver, in the cold night's air? Because love's been a ghost, never truly there. Why do I fight, for a life so tough? Because hope's all I have, even when it's not enough. (Bridge) Dreams of better days, they're fading fast, Memories of laughter, now in the past, He's just a boy, but he's seen too much, Life's heavy hand, with a cold, hard touch. (Verse 3) Illegal hustles, just to get by, Caught in a cycle, can't break, can't fly, He's lost in the system, forgotten by the world, Just a broken soul, a lost little boy. Hope seems like a distant star in the night, Every breath a battle, every moment a fight, But in his heart, a spark still glows, A will to survive, no matter how it goes. (Chorus) Why do I wander, with no place to go? Because home's just a dream, and dreams fade slow. Why do I shiver, in the cold night's air? Because love's been a ghost, never truly there. Why do I fight, for a life so tough? Because hope's all I have, even when it's not enough. (end) (a solo piano following the song)
