Take Somebody Home - Lili Haydn

She rides down Fairfax with her Mommy

Canter’s on the right, the night is foggy

Not foggy enough, she still sees the pain in their eyes

She makes mom explain the reason why

They live on the street, we just drive by

But not fast enough, she still sees the blame in her eyes

Can we please take somebody home

There’s room in our house where it’s not cold

Why can’t we please take somebody home

The little girl cries with love in her eyes

Mom don’t make that much in a day

She knows they ain’t that far away

From being denied

She barely survives in this land

Can we please take somebody home

There’s room in our house where it’s not cold

Why can’t we please take somebody home

The little girl cries with love in her eyes

Mom tries to explain «supply side»

Not much trickles down, justice belie

The eyes of a child see through these civilized lies

Can we please take somebody home

There’s room in our house where it’s not cold

Why can’t we please take somebody home

The little girl cries with love in her eyes
