[Verse 1] (Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh) (Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh) He's just a homeless man He's got no place left to live Walking through the freezing rain With nothing left inside to give He'll cheat and lie and steal just to make his way Hiding in the alleys where the shadows stay Trying to make it on his own in this cold, empty world Counting every scar as the bitter night unfurls [Chorus] Nobody knows tomorrow That's his only motto Poor boy, he's just a homeless kid Trying to make it on his own Nobody knows tomorrow He's holding on somehow Poor boy, he's just a homeless kid Trying to make it on his own [Verse 2] Wrapped in a faded coat with holes inside the thread Remembering the gentle words his mother once had said Now the city lights are blinking, cold and refined Leaving every single memory far behind He steals a loaf of bread just to quiet down the pain Washing off his dignity beneath the pouring rain People walk right past him, never looking in his eyes Tired of the promises and tired of the lies [Bridge] The pavement is his blanket, the wind is his sound A forgotten young soul in a fast-moving town He isn't asking for the world, just a reason to believe That somebody somewhere has a little grace to leave [Verse 3] The morning sun is breaking, turning grey into gold Another day of survival for a heart growing old He pulls his collar tighter as the street starts to wake Wondering how much more one human heart can take He'll cheat and lie and steal if it keeps him alive Doing what he has to do just to survive [Chorus] Nobody knows tomorrow That's his only motto Poor boy, he's just a homeless kid Trying to make it on his own Nobody knows tomorrow He's holding on somehow Poor boy, he's just a homeless kid Trying to make it on his own (Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh) (Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)
