(Verse 1)
Out on the streets, no place to call home,
A year gone by, feeling all alone.
Salvation Army, my refuge, my bed,
But little did I know, I’d be working for bread.

(Chorus)
Homeless for a year, my heart filled with fear,
At the Salvation Army, where they hold me near.
Working for free, feeling like a modern-day slave,
Dreaming of a life beyond this dismal cave.

(Verse 2)
I thought they’d help, lend a helping hand,
But instead, I’m just a pawn in their command.
Day in, day out, the cycle repeats,
No escape from these never-ending streets.

(Chorus)
Homeless for a year, my heart filled with fear,
At the Salvation Army, where they hold me near.
Working for free, feeling like a modern-day slave,
Dreaming of a life beyond this dismal cave.

(Bridge)
Where is the hope? Where is the light?
In this dark abyss, I continue to fight.
But still, I hold on, to a glimmer of hope,
That someday soon, I’ll find a way to cope.

(Chorus)
Homeless for a year, my heart filled with fear,
At the Salvation Army, where they hold me near.
Working for free, feeling like a modern-day slave,
Dreaming of a life beyond this dismal cave.

(Outro)
Though the nights are cold and the days are long,
I’ll keep on believing, singing my song.
For one day, I know, I’ll break free,
From this cycle of homelessness, and finally be me.
