Story Behind the Song
Song to raise awareness of the plights of the worlds street children.
Lyrics
Street Kids
Beneath the streets, I found a young man crying
Fingers white with the tightness of his fist
There in his hand, a cross of tarnished silver
With no memories at all of fortunes kiss
Beside him lays his sister, but she’s dying
His tired coat draped over her for warmth
But still she shivers, smiling bravely through the pain
Too weak to hold his hand, too weak to even talk, too weak to talk
(Chorus)
These are the street kids
They are forgotten
Abandoned, save for the faith that they hold dear
These are the hungry
And the sickened
Never does a child deserve to wind up here
(Break)
Beneath the streets I watched a young man crying
His pretty sister quiet by his side
And in her hand a cross of tarnished silver
On her face a look of peace and silent pride, silent pride
(Chorus)
These are the street kids
They are forgotten
Abandoned, save for the faith that they hold dear
These are the hungry
And the sickened
Never does a child deserve to wind up here, to wind up here
(Chorus)
These are the street kids
They are forgotten
Abandoned, save for the faith that they hold dear
These are the hungry
And the sickened
Never does a child deserve to wind up here
(Outro)
Beneath these busy streets you’ll find me crying
But my tears they fall for nothing, they fall for nothing, they fall for nothing,
My tears they fall for nothing
