lyrics

His options running out, he ran away from home.
Lost but but forgotten with nothing left to own.
Dropped across county lines. Bruised and battered down.
Addiction taking hold.

The cold cut to the bone. And then it cut him down.
Huddled in a stairwell with no one else around.
The whisky didn't warm but I hope it eased the pain.
Did it even make a sound?

How many will die hungry, broke, and beset?
How many will follow pushed aside without regret?
How often do I wake safe, warm, and loved?
Sometimes I forget.

We take for granted every day, this bluff on which we tread.
The fall from grace is short. The vultures all well fed.
Disheartened though we are, we take power from this pain.
For we did not know the person but now we know his name.

Now we know his name.
