    Story Behind the Song
    If you see a kid out on the street, give him the 5 bucks, if you have it. It can hold him/her off from starvation for another day.

    Lyrics
    I was walking down the street,
    When these kids whispered, "please,
    sir, could you spare a coin?"
    They got up on their feet,
    Looked no more than fifteen,
    "We're just trying to find a home".

    So many kids, So little time,
    They just don't want to live and then die.
    Don't want to be, fucking drunks or sheep,
    Like there parents were, they only want to eat.

    The kids take me to their hole,
    Where they hide from the cold,
    "At least we have this, you know?"
    The walls are falling down,
    The floor looks ready to drown,
    And the celing's full of holes.

    They left their homes years ago,
    The streets have taken their toll,
    The kids sleep on the dirt.
    Smiles once bright...fade,
    The Bright future turns grey,
    Now too removed to work.

    What five dollars does for me, isn't as much to those it will feed,
    You know it means the world to the street boys and street girls.
    Don't be controlled by apathy, help a kid out on the street,
    You know it means the world, to the street boys and street girls.
