One day she was a little girl
Am
dancing on her daddy's knee
G D
The next thing you know, she's on a bus
Am
heading towards L.A.
G
Now she walks the streets
D
to sell her skin
Am
It's the only life she knows
C D
But in her heart she yearns
C D
for the day when she can rise above these...
G D
Life in the streets
Am
you just can't understand
G D
Life in the streets
Am
when you're outside looking in
G D
Life in the streets
Am
where does it all begin
C
One of us could be them
D G D
in these ummm, life in the streets
G D
Shufflin' down Fifth Avenue
Am
he stops to pick up a dime
G D
He says he was on the telly
Am
when he was only nine
G D
Now his home is a crawl space
Am
or on a mission floor
C D
and in silence he's in pain
C D
he just keeps living on and on and...

Looking for employment
Am
is easier said then done
G D
"You need a home address or someplace man,
Am
before you can get this job"
G D
Now as the words cut like a knife
Am
into his bruised and battered pride
C D
yet in his dreams he sees
C D
the day when he can rise above these...
