Critters & Kings

from Some Kinda Grace by Vanessa Forero

/

about

Written in San Francisco upon seeing the homeless world, in many ways we've all hit the road in tough times. "We're all just the same"

lyrics

Turning times had him fall
in the winter of his dollars and dimes

Ooo

He had a way of letting go
Into the bottom of his whiskey and wine

Ooo

And he sighs:
Does anybody see me?
Does anybody care when you…
…hit the roads cause your own didn’t make it so fair?

Now I’ve seen stones more alive
than the beat-less drum of his heart
And he shrivels his eyes, as he wonders:
Do angels come out in the dark?

Ooo

And he wonders:
Does anybody see me?
Does anybody care when you…
…hit the roads cause your own didn’t make it so fair?

Ooo
Ooo

Oh, cardboard box palaces
For the ones who’ve run from it all
No nothing is never enough
For the critters or the kings above
This desiring will eat us all up
Maybe the vagabonds are the freest of all

Cause everybody’s wondering:
Does anybody see me?
Does anybody care?
We all hit the roads when our own didn’t make it so fair
Yeah we’ve all been craving ’til we’re hungry in the dead of despair

Yeah we’re all just the same
