    We All Need Love
    Part 1: The Homeless man

    I was alone in my life
    I got into drugs
    And nothing went right

    I lived alone
    All of my life
    I lived in darkness
    And, I dreamed of light

    My dumpster was home
    I lived there in shame
    I knew my family
    Had all gone away

    My life was empty
    I was ready to die
    I however
    Was scared of suicide

    The pain inside me
    Made its self known
    I knew inside
    I was all alone

    No one would help me
    They saw me as diseased
    They wouldn’t come near me
    Because I was bad for society

    I was convinced
    That I would die
    But then he came
    To my surprise

    He wore nice clothing
    It fit him well
    He helped me up
    And, took me from hell

    I’d never known
    Love in this way
    My parents hated
    Me on every day

    He gave me food,
    Offered me shelter,
    Asked me to stay
    He said he’d help me
    Until I was on my way

    Part 2: The Helper

    My life was set
    I was on my way
    There was greatness in me
    I knew it everyday

    My parents loved me
    They taught me well
    They showed me how
    To stay out of jail

    They sent me to college
    They told me they cared
    They gave me many things
    And, they taught me to share

    I was the perfect
    American dream
    I had made it
    In society

    Now was the time
    It was in my life
    When I should give
    Someone new light

    I saw the perfect
    Prospect to help
    He lived in a dumpster
    And cried in this hell

    I told him to come
    Into my house
    To stay with me
    Not live like a mouse

    He came with me
    I helped him out
    When he needed it
    I helped him out

    His life was horrid
    Drugs were his fall
    I wanted to help
    I knew I had a call

    When I saved him
    From his demise
    There were people
    Listening to his cries

    I could not believe
    That his own family left him
    It was hard for me
    Mine would’ve never left him

    That was his life, though
    That was not mine
    He had bad parents
    But he was good inside

    He didn’t deserve
    To be outcast
    When he got caught
    Trying out grass

    It had destroyed him
    Up to this point
    I was going to help him
    If it cost me my life

    So I pulled him out
    Of his helloes life
    I pulled him out
    And, I gave him new light

    With all those people watching
    I helped him stand
    Now he works a job
    And he lives like a man

    Part 3: The Witness

    My life was good
    I had a good standing
    I made enough money
    To always have some handy

    My parents were nice
    My siblings were fun
    I had a life
    And, I had it good

    I saw a man
    Who wasn’t so lucky
    His life was sad
    And, he bore it badly

    He lived in trash
    Eating anything he could
    He lived life crying
    He was no good

    He got into drugs
    He had done terrible things
    I, in my mind
    Thought he was diseased

    Then, someone today
    To my surprise
    Took him in
    And saved his life

    Inside my mind
    I couldn’t fathom
    Why would someone
    Take care of that mad man

    However, when I thought
    It came to mind
    He wasn’t mad
    He just had a tough life

    I felt so bad
    I passed him by
    I hadn’t helped him
    I had left him to die

    Through this I learned
    A new thing in life
    I have to help people
    Who are despised

    They all need love
    Just like I do
    They long for love
    Like everyone I knew

    Love is universal
    It’s from the spirit within
    Love’s not controversial
    And, everyone deserves it
