[Chorus]
G You see them on the streets Em You see them on the sidewalks C You see them at the library D You see them in fast food joints
[Verse 1]
D Hae you ever stopped and just talked Am C Not just slipped them that easy bill C Feeling like you were helping D Dsus4 C G Let me tell you my true story
[Verse 2]
A A7 You need to know the truth D Dsus2 Homelessness now is not Depression style D Dsus2 It is lifestyle, a choice of how to live G Separated from Family, Society and God
[Verse 3]
D Am Living on the streets, many D Am Living in a tent , some under a bridge D Am Drugs mostly MET making it possible C G So many giving handouts, ena bling their brokenness
[Verse 4]
D Am Now l I spent 3 months doing homeless ministry C G Had three I helped bigtime, what did I get D Am Broken promised, a storage unit full of their stuff C G Packed to the brim with clothes, promises and junk
[Verse 5]
A A7 Fed them , even put them up in a motel a while D Dsus2 They got kicked out the first night D Dsus2 Disabled the Smoke Alarm, FDP came G Paid for week, a total waste

D Bottom line, the homeless they reject the Truth Am C Most reject the Bible, and Jesus C Lost to the flesh, drugs and pride D Dsus4 C G A story I need to tell
[Chorus]
G You see them on the streets Em You see them on the sidewalks C You see them at the library D You see them in fast food joints
