When everything’s lost, where will hope be? A darkened dream pulls me to despair, Then your hand reaches, lifting me there. --- [**Chorus** – Expansive, with choral backing] I’m just homeless, not a shadow in the night, Not a virus, but a soul searching for light. Who made my angel cry? Who left you asking why? Now I’ll rise, I’ll fight, Even with nothing, I’ll make it right. --- [**Verse 2** – Steady rhythm with soft organ swells] City streets hum with forgotten songs, A silent crowd, where I don’t belong. But we’re more than the stories they write, Hearts of gold shining through the night. --- [**Chorus** – Stronger, with layered harmonies] I’m just homeless, not a shadow in the night, Not a virus, but a soul searching for light. Who made my angel cry? Who left you asking why? Now I’ll rise, I’ll fight, Even with nothing, I’ll make it right. --- [**Bridge** – Emotional and soulful] The world turns cold, and they turn away, But here together, we’ll find our way. One small spark can light the skies, Even the unseen will rise, will rise! (Vocal echoes: **“Will rise, will rise!”**) --- [**Final Chorus** – Full gospel energy, choir and orchestral strings] I’m just homeless, but my heart’s alive, A fire burns, and I will survive. Who made my angel cry? Who left you asking why? Now we’ll rise, we’ll shine, Together, we’ll redefine. --- [**Outro** – Gentle, reflective fade] When the night falls, there’s still light to find, Through every shadow, love redefined. In your hands, I found my song, No one’s homeless when they belong. [Spoken-vocal softly with emotional resonance] "You saved me from being lost, Now it’s my turn to save you..."
