The Odds Stacked Against Him

The odds stacked against him but he battles on
He believes that his toughest times in life have gone
One of the homeless unemployed of the poor side of the town
Who knows what it is like to be financially down
To be born of poor drug addicted parents he has known a tough time
But it is to his credit that he has not resorted to crime
Homeless at eighteen working two days a week for award wages pay
Yet he believes better times from him not far away
He plans to leave the poor big city suburb for to try his luck elsewhere
Next week he will be leaving to travel in the big World out there
Rather than live with abusive parents for two years he has been on the street
The toughest challenges in life at a young age he does meet
In the big World out there he will travel far and wide
He has great dreams for the future and time is on his side.
