Tambourines

we live in a world where there is no place called home

for many who roam all alone throughout the day and night

this is the beginning of a wrong that was never made right

life still goes on and we still sleep at night

trying to hold on to what we have keeping it in our sight

because we know that it could be taken in the night

waking us up to a different side of our lives

where we no longer control the lights

where we can't just do what we like

too many say "that won't happen to me"

they're just too bind to see

with shoes on their feet

clothes on their backs

enough food to eat

it's so hard to see what  they lack

like empathy and for those who are gone

some sympathy and love for humanity

too stuck up to believe that

all symphonies must come to an end
