Their circumstance of birth is their greatest foe
The children who will never know of a fair go
The journey from poverty street for many ends in jail time
Since poverty, homelessness and hunger are life paths to crime
Their parents and grand parents no strangers to jail
On their side of the town many are born to fail
To succeed in life they have to beat the odds
The poor homeless children of the lesser gods
By the suburb they live in branded with a bad name
Though for their bad circumstances they should not be to blame
In survival alone a huge challenge they do meet
The poor homeless children of poverty street
Survival for them is a battle to fight
The homeless and hungry who sleep rough tonight.
