The dawn’s early light
Tells of a downward plight
Or the perilous fight
Nearly fifty percent
Land of the free
Home of the brave
Depraved of housing
A basic human need
Nearly fifty percent
Work for mere cents
Either part time or full time
Heavy bombs on descent
Unhoused, homeless, no roof
Paycheck in hand is no proof
Proof of simple liberties
Nearly fifty percent
Show up every day to work
With income, not enough
To secure a dwelling
Prices ever going up
Nearly fifty percent
No place to call home
Across the U S of A
Shall free men stand
Be free in this land?
In God we trust
Always a must
Walk by faith
But not by sight
Nearly fifty percent
Not of unemployment
But homelessness
Nearly fifty percent
