The Lost Ones

They all seem lost, living on the boulevard
When I head down that way, my body stands on guard
All the drugs, the danger, and distress, how did it get this far?
Fear wins the battle in my heart

I keep passing by the lost ones
Feeling powerless to help someone with a loaded gun
No one of us can bear the damage done
How did we all become the lost ones?

It's the hottest day of the year, no shade in sight
I see a guy in bad shape, his frozen eyes meet mine
Then he spews anger and lashes out, but it's the enemy inside
I turn away and hope he stays alive

I keep passing by the lost ones
Feeling powerless to help someone with a loaded gun
No one of us can bear the damage done
How did we all become the lost ones?

He's got a family somewhere who shares his pain
I wonder, if she found him, what his mom would say
She'd say
'He's not a junkie, he's my precious son and all I can do is pray'
Because he runs away from any kind of grace

I keep passing by the lost ones
Feeling powerless to help someone with a loaded gun
No one of us can bear the damage done
How did we all become the lost ones?
