	Story Behind the Song AMERICA'S FORGOTTEN PEOPLE, AS WITH ALL OF MY EIGHTY ORIGINAL SONGS, I DIDN'T PLAN ON WRITING IT. Born and raised in the ghetto of Detroit, I can appreciate some of the trials they go through. When I was a boy, they called them bums. We never looked at them like that, and found out early that friendships weren't about gender, social level, or color. Living in a rat infested apartment in Detroit, we learned to live with rats getting on to the bed at night, getting bitten by bed bugs, dealing with roaches. My Mother believed, practiced , and taught us that you can't help being poor, but you can help being clean and having a clean place to live in. My Father rode the trains, (hobo style) to get to work and to find a better life for us. He and my Mother struggled to get us out of the slums, and it was their love and determination that made it possible. Point! They couldn't help being poor, and many times close to being homeless, like many of the families in the world today! Has nothing to do with ability to succeed, or determination! I tried many times to contact people in a position to help this song go public, to raise both money and the level of awareness of the homeless' plight, with no success so far. Public TV stations, local, and National TV stations. No response! Guess I don't have enough clout/power to get their help! So, I hope to get the message across via the net, our future power vehicle for the working/thinking people. These people need a way out, if they want to put forth the effort to escape and contribute to the growth of our country. Hope that you like the song.. Lyrics WALKING DOWN THIS COLD DARK STREET WITH THE WIND CUTTING A CHILL RIGHT THROUGH MY CLOTHES HAVEN'T HAD A HOT MEAL TO EAT OR A WARM PLACE TO SLEEP FOR SUCH A LONG LONG TIME I pulled my hat down on my face people pass me by going on their way tomorrow's such a long time got to find my way back in if i can make it until tomorrow i feel i be ok then turn my collar to the wind looking for a place to rest for the night climb in the back of an old junk truck pull a piece of cardboard up over my head trying to get to tomorrow knowing that this night may never end tomorrow's such a long long time got to find my way again if i can make it til tomorrow i know i'll be much better then
