On Your Own

Cold faces, lives left stranded
Starved and empty handed
Walk down the streets alone
The only home they've known
Since no one seems to care
Apathy is everywhere
They're begging to survive
And keep themselves alive

You're wasting your time
The system is blind
You have to fight
On you own

No rope, no rules to follow
Who hears the sounds of sorrow?
Despised by eyes that won't give
Give them a reason to live
Ignored by those in command
No sympathy, no helping hand
So as the days go by
Young lives are left to die
