Lyrics
SHED A TEAR
SEE THE GIRL LYING IN THE STREET
CARDBOARD COVERS FOR HER SHELTER
SEE THE OLD MAN HE'S BEGGING FOR FOOD
YOU'VE SEEN ONE SIDE NOW HERE'S THE OTHER
FOR MANY YEARS THEY HAVE LIVED IN THE STREET
ALL THEY'VE GOT IS EACH OTHER
THEY'RE FLESH AND BLOOD AND THEY REALISE
THEY'RE ALL SISTERS AND BROTHERS
Chorus
SHED A TEAR FOR THE LONELY
IT NEVER RAINS BUT IT POURS
SHED A TEAR FOR THE LONELY
AAAH ONE DAY THAT CHILD MIGHT BE YOURS
FOR THE POOR IT'S A CRUEL WORLD
IT SEEMS THAT NOBODY CARES
ANOTHER DAY THAT LASTS FOREVER
ITS NOT A DREAM IT'S A NIGHTMARE
A LITTLE THOUGHT FOR THE GIRL IN THE STREET
THERE'S NO ONE TO CARE FOR HER
A LITTLE THOUGHT FOR THE MAN BEGGING FOOD
IF THEY COME KNOCKING ON YOUR DOOR
Chorus
Guitar
Chorus to fade
