Lyrics
See the girl lying in the street
Cardboard covers for her shelter
See the old man he's begging for food
You've seen one side now heres the other
For many years they have lived in the streets
All they've got is each other
They're flesh and blood and they realise
They're all sisters and brothers
CHORUS
Shed a tear for the lonely
It never rains but it pours
Shed a tear for the lonely
AAAAH one day that child might be yours
For the poor its a cruel world
It seems that nobody cares
Another day that lasts forever
Its not a dream its a nightmare
A little thought for the girl in the street
There's no one to care for
A little thought for the man begging food
If they come knocking on your door
CHORUS
Guitar
CHORUS to fade
