Homeless but not lifeless

Dedicated to the 4th Edition of Students' Counsellor Outreach Program

While others cover their heads with roof

Children hide under the garment of their mothers

Mothers tend to feel the warmness of their children

Here we are wandering and living on the streets 

Abandoned company sites is where we survive

Where we lay our heads in silence to pass the night

Man gives to us the remaining part of their problem 

Then in joy we approach them to solve our problems

But our problems of life look natural and permanent 

Some of us are born and raised here on the streets 

When the mother left the world after the drop

In cold, rain and sun we bring ourselves together

Then make a living out of family and situation bond

Our breakfast is always settled by those going to work

When we jump out early in the cold to search for food

What can we do when we are helpless 

Where can we live when we are homeless 

We only know to strive as we are not lifeless

I say, give unto the needy that much you have

Your problem is not the only to share with them

Make them smile and thee shall be happy
