Heart of a Dog

I’m a reflection of what is unseen
By people inside the machine
I try to survive here
I tuck my tail right
Between my thighs
Fear, afraid of the things that I see
Of people and weather and streets
I know it’s said by some
A cat has nine lives
But I’ve got one
If you hold out a helping hand to me
I will probably stay alive
See a new day
If you hold back your helping hand from me
I will probably not survive
Through the night
Life, hoodlums and pigs and the cold
Too early for me to grow old
Moving the countdown
Seven years have changed to one
Be, be as strong as I can
Inside I know who I am
I’m homeless and hungry, but I am still a man
Take a look below where you’re walking
There’s someone who will die without your charity
Take a look below where you’re walking
For a moment see the unseen
Inside of me where the same blood flows
Like in all of us
Inside of me where the same God knows
'Cause his eyes they see us
Inside of me where the same heart’s beating
Like in all of us
Inside of me where the same God knows
'Cause his eyes they see us
