Bounce



on the corner, in the alley

under the bridge

on top of the sidewalk vent

..with your children....



it probably seems

everybody

is telling you to give up

pushing the ledge inward



crushing it like a cardboard box

the one you lay in

..the one you live in..



with the looks on their face

and the lack of change

feel you can't get away

..get away from this place



but if you could just hold on,

if you could just survive

..survive today..



..then maybe...

there's another twist of fate



what goes up

can come down

and what hits the ground

might just bounce

so brace yourself

and look out for recovery

so brace your kids

don't give up and in

and hold out for recovery





open sunroof, in your valley

many drive by

dry throat near the fountain kept

..by security...



i can see it seems

everybody

does pretend you don't exist

crowding around the wealth



crushing you like a cardboard box

the one you lay in

..the one you live in..



with the looks on their face

and the lack of change

feel you can't get away

..get away from this place



but if you could just hold on,

if you could just survive

..survive today..



..then maybe...

there's another twist of fate



what goes up

can come down

and what hits the ground

might just bounce

so brace yourself

and look out for recovery

so brace your kids

don't give up and in

and hold out for recovery



and i hope people out there listening

give a second thought to their reasoning

when they pass you by without a glance

turning their heads away



what goes up

can come down

and what hits the ground

might just bounce

so brace yourself

and look out for recovery

so brace your kids

don't give up and in

and hold out for recovery

Author's Notes/Comments: 

1/4 of homeless people in the United States are children, each year(over 750,000 children now!). The myth that homeless people are drunken/druggie failures is at large a myth. And no one is more innocent then the children.
