Homeless Few Lyrics - Petra

Words by Bob Hartman 

Based on Luke 10: 30-37, 1 John 3: 17 

Where are the amber waves of grain 

When one of our homeless native sons has hunger pain 

Under the overpass they build a fire for heat 

They can't remember when they had a meal to eat 

Some sleep in doorways waiting for the day 

Some sleep in boxes we have thrown away 

Under the red, white and blue 

Right down the street in our view 

We're not doing all we can do 

To shelter the homeless few 

Shelter the homeless few

Standing in line for soup and bread 

Hoping tonight the downtown mission has a bed 

Dreaming about the home they thought they'd never lose 

Sleeping on benches covered by the daily news 

People who pass them by just turn their heads 

Making them feel like they've been left for dead 

Under the red, white and blue 

Right down the street from our pew 

We're not doing all we can do 

To shelter the homeless few 

Shelter the homeless few

It's up to me 

It's up to you 

We're not doing all we can do 

To shelter the homeless few 

Shelter the homeless few
