I have moved on and did my own music video with the help of a friend. I thought I'd share the story and link.

-Commentary from The DWS Project Artist-
"Down in the Dirt"

Very few people know that I've been there myself and thank God for those who have really cared. As we all know homelessness is not only in our country, it is in all others as well. Do to circumstances beyond their control many homeless people will survive in any way they can. Very many of these people have not chosen to be where they are today. There are people and place that they can go to for relief and comfort from their living conditions. But these unfortunate souls have been noted to completely refuse any help what so ever. There're pride to tough it out and solve the problem for themselves is more like a quest; or just a short set back in there're lives that will pass in time. Thank you for listening and viewing this video. All comment and or complaints are welcome and encouraged.

Lyric

Verse#1
Your Hot! We're Hot!
And we know what is and what's not.
We've been living down in the streets;
scraping barrels just to make ends meet.
Not too much to show for our lives;
but a torn up shirt and black and blue eyes.
Out of work, here to stay;
wondering when the next meals going to come our way.

Chorus
Homeless, yes I'm homeless;
a penny to save. We're homeless,
loneliness no friends just a cat and a grave;
just a cat and a grave.

Verse#2.
First it's hot out, than its cold;
changes in living conditions are on hold.
Standing number fifty in the Welfare line;
there's not much we can say about our lives.
Scorned by many, loved by few;
can I pack my stuff up and live with you.
Anything's better than the place I'm in;
point your finger at me I know my life's a sin.

Chorus
Homeless, yes I'm homeless;
not a penny to save.
We're homeless, loneliness no friends just a cat and a grave;
just a cat and a grave.

Verse#3.
A loaf of bread and a pound of cheese;
I would give anything to live a life of ease.
Go anywhere; do as I please;
now that's what I call Liberty.
But moneys the object that's the game;
I'm sure there's many that feel the same.
Living a life full of dreams;
but facing reality with a breeze.

Chorus Homeless, yes I'm homeless;
not a penny to save.
We're homeless, loneliness no friends just a cat and a grave;
just a cat and a grave.

I live in the USA. After a rough patch of hopelessness I was taken in by some friends until I could get back on my feet. I did not have it as bad as some, but I did come to realize that I was lucky. My experiences inspired me to write this song. I hope that it will be an inspiration for others.
Never give up on those that you are helping. You are a shining light, a beacon in their lives. You are the one who will make the difference in their lives. Children are our future and without then there may be no tomorrows. Bless you for your work.
The DWS Project is the pseudo name I have chosen to use.
