Halfway Home

He's a drifter he's a loner He's an urban soldier He's front line infantry, in a war with poverty He takes shelter in the alley On the concrete steps Where he's covered with his jacket, his shoes under his head 'Cause supplies are always thin At the local soup kitchen 'Cause a halfway house, just ain't, a halfway home And a man cannot survive on handouts alone He deserves a second chance, to build a life with his own hands And a halfway house just ain't a halfway home And a halfway house just ain't a halfway home We have passed him on the roadside We've read his sign It says I will work for food, but we don't look in his eyes And we don't dare pull out our wallet 'Cause a man like that He might be desperate enough, to snatch it from our hands 'Cause Supplies are always thin At the local soup kitchen And a halfway house, just ain't, a halfway home And a man cannot survive on handouts alone He deserves a second chance, to build a life with his own hands And a halfway house just ain't a halfway home And a halfway house just ain't a halfway home He's a beggar on his feet, he ain't an addict on his knees He's a product of a war, he was sent to overseas He's a prayer before dinner that makes you thankful for your food With a haircut and a shave he's interchangeable with you 'Cause a halfway house, just ain't, a halfway home And a man cannot survive on handouts alone He deserves a second chance, to build a life with his own hands And a halfway house just ain't a halfway home And a halfway house just ain't a halfway home
