Lyrics
Let another die Larry Keogh
Theres a 24 hour shopping mall
Its where I like to stay
Cause the man that keeps the bad guys out
Wont turn me away
Sometimes its so cold
I dont even feel the pain
But he gives me coffee....
And lets me stay til' 10
I'm sitting in this doorway
Trying to hide from judging eyes
Its almost five o clock ,I think
I wish it was sunrise.
Will you please just put some money
In my little paper cup
To buy a coffee.....
I think I'm giving up (I feel like giving up)
Oooohh....I'm cold
OoOOohhh....so cold.
When your life is fine
Take a little time
To put yourself in mine....
And live it every day
see if its ok
To let another die
To let another die
I haven't been like this my whole life,
Living on this street
And I want to turn it all around
Make my life complete
This wasn't my decision
To be this homeless man
To beg for coffee....
Do think that was the plan
Chorus...
You mightlook around
And help us off the ground
