Sleepless nights
Dark-filled dreams
Fearful mind

Puffy eyes
Work getting undone
Streets getting turned around

Life apart
Love without heart
No place to turn

Fearful heart
Tax audit
House on the market

Dirty mattress
Gutter trash
Shopping cart home

Love found
Under a bridge
In the moonlight

Life here
In a street
With people who care

Home is where the heart is
And the heart is here:
With the street trash
