THE WALK HOME
There’s a cool breeze…
chilling me to the bone…
it’s gonna rain tonight…
I’m walking home cause –
I’ve only pennies in my pocket.
I just want my lumpy bed.
Severe weather just ahead.
I know the way all too well.
I’ve walked these streets…
…for a long long time…
to just the edge of the ghetto –
at the start of rampant crime!
I’ll sleep good tonight…
If I make it home.
I’ve got a pack of ramen…
and some cheese crackers…
waiting home patiently…for me.
…where i wanna be…
..wish I were there now…for…
I haven’t eaten in a couple of days!
I’m just cold lonely hungry me!
I don’t know how many more miles…
I just keep a moving my feet…
to try to get myself closer –
I hope God’s watching over me!
I have to make it home some…how…
I could use a drink…to stop and rest…
and now I also have to pee!
My feet are really hurting!
They pound the pavement…
…pointing toward my lonely home!
Still a long way to go, Lord…
I’m not gonna make it on my own.
The sky is suddenly much darker…
as I walk these streets alone!
I’m just a little bit dizzy.
I haven’t anyone to call…
and my phone is dead.
I have to pee. It’s raining now.
It’s getting much harder to see.
I know that if I sit down…
the darkness might just swallow me!
Fifty years of living…
and I haven’t got much to show.
Just a worn out body
and one pack of ramen –
if I make it home!
I don’t want to ever leave again.
It’s getting so I can barely take a step.
Lord, my feet ache…
can you take away my pain?
I’d rather not pass out..
…or pee my pants!
I won’t have the energy…
to make that chicken ramen now.
I just want to…make it home!
Every day is such a struggle…
nothing’s ever easy…for me!
I wish I had a bottled water…
…if I didn’t have to pee.
I thought I’d make it home…
before the sun was down…
but now rain will be drowning me.
Just another half hour…
for now I can finally see…
the towers of the church
in my neighborhood.
So good! Still far off…
but lit so bright…in the night…
…and I still have to pee!
