Homeless: Defined as being without a home, and therefore typically residing on the street.
Streets of London
Lyrics and Vocals: English singer-songwriter and acoustic guitarist Ralph McTell.
Streets of London
Have you seen the old man in a closed-down market?
Kicking up the paper with his worn out shoes.
In his eyes, you see no pride and held loosely at his side,
Yesterday’s paper telling yesterday’s news.
Chorus:
So, how can you tell me you’re lonely and say for you that the sun don’t shine?
Let me take you by the hand and lead you through the streets of London.
I’ll show you something to make you change your mind.
Have you seen the old girl who walks the streets of London?
Dirt in her hair and her clothes in rags.
She’s no time for talking, she just keeps right on walking,
Carrying her home in two carrier bags.
Repeat Chorus:
In the all night café at a quarter past eleven,
Same old man sitting there on his own.
Looking at the world over the rim of his teacup.
And each tea lasts an hour and he wanders home alone.
Repeat Chorus:
Have you seen the old man outside the seaman’s mission?
Memory fading with the medal ribbons that he wears.
And in our winter city the rain cries a little pity,
For one more forgotten hero and a world that doesn’t care.
Repeat Chorus:

Wishing all our readers, both at home and abroad, a very Happy Easter Holiday.
Lord I Hope This Day Is Good.
Lyrics: Song writer David Hanner, latter a member of The Corbin Hanner Band.
Vocals: American country music singer, songwriter the late Don Ray Williams (1939 – 2017).
Lord I Hope This Day Is Good.
Lord, I hope this day is good.
I’m feelin’ empty and misunderstood.
I should be thankful, Lord, I know I should,
But Lord I hope this day is good.
Lord, have you forgotten me.
I’ve been prayin’ to you faithfully.
I’m not sayin’ I’m a righteous man,
But Lord I hope you understand.
I don’t need fortune and I don’t need fame.
Send down the thunder, Lord, send down the rain,
But when you’re plannin’ just how it will be
Plan a good day for me.
Lord, I hope this day is good.
I’m feelin’ empty and misunderstood.
I should be thankful, Lord, I know I should,
But Lord I hope this day is good.
You’ve been the King since the dawn of time.
All that I’m askin’ is a little less crime.
It might be hard for the devil to do,
But it would be easy for you.
Lord, I hope this day is good.
I’m feelin’ empty and misunderstood.
I should be thankful, Lord, I know I should,
But Lord I hope this day is good.

The Old Rugged Cross
Vocals: American singer-songwriter Alan Jackson.
Lyrics: Songwriter: American evangelist and song-leader George Bennard (1873–1958).
The Old Rugged Cross.
On a hill far away stood an old rugged cross,
The emblem of suffering and shame.
And I love that old cross where the dearest and best,
For a world of lost sinners was slain.
So I’ll cherish the old rugged cross,
Till my trophies at last I lay down.
I will cling to the old rugged cross,
And exchange it some day for a crown.
To that old rugged cross I will ever be true,
It’s shame and reproach gladly bear.
Then he’ll call me some day to my home far away,
Where his glory forever I’ll share.
So I’ll cherish the old rugged cross,
Till my trophies at last I lay down.
And I will cling to the old rugged cross,
And exchange it some day for a crown.
I will cling to the old rugged cross,
And exchange it some day for a crown.

A Place In My Heart.
Lyrics: By Canadian singer-songwriter, author, and poet Jean-pierre Ferland.
Vocals: Greek singer, the great Nana Mouskouri.
Find a quiet spot; make yourself comfortable; close your eyes and listen to the wonderful lyrics, vocals and music!
A Place In My Heart
I got your letter yesterday,
From some small town I never knew.
It told me you were on your way,
But not where you were going to.
You said you’re following the sun,
But do you really know for sure.
For after all is said and done,
Just what it is you’re looking for.
There’s a place in my heart,
I wish that your eyes could see.
And there’s no one on earth,
Who loves you as much as me.
If you just travel on and on,
Till I don’t know where.
There’s a place in my heart,
You may never find again.
And so you travel with the wind,
You’ ll find some road to fly along.
And though your letter says the word,
Your heart may soon forget the song.
Then you may someday write the poem,
That tells your life in words of fire,
But you will never have a home,
Or find the love that you desire.
There’s a place in my heart,
I wish that your eyes could see.
And there’s no one on earth,
Who loves you as much as me.
If you just travel on and on,
Till I don’t know where,
There’s a place in my heart,
You may never find again.
And so you are heading for the sea,
Now that the flowers are in bloom,
Just when the wild Mimosa tree,
Is like the colour of our room.
If you just travel on and on,
Till I don’t know where.
There’s a place in my heart,
You may never find again.
END
Heaven’s Lucky to Have You.
Vocals: Jonathan Lee
Lyrics: Singer/Songwriter Chase Fouraker; Singer Jonathan Lee; Musician Korey Hunt, and Singer/Songwriter Sam Banks
Heaven’s Lucky to Have You.
I saw a red bird flying high,
Out of a sunset sky.
I saw a sunflower growing wild,
On that ol’ road side.
Clear as a lighthouse beacon,
I could see that you are not that
Far away.
Far away.
When I need you,
You’ll be right outside my window.
I feel your arms around me,
When the wind blows.
I still think you left too soon,
But I am thankful for your time.
Heavens lucky to have you,
So was I.
I wish I could call you up,
When I mess up,
One of grandma’s recipes.
I wish we could catch up,
On life and such,
And hear you laughing at me.
But today I found a picture.
Saw that smile upon your face,
I knew everything would be okay.
When I need you,
You’ll be right outside my window.
I feel your arms around me,
When the wind blows.
I still think you left too soon,
But I am thankful for your time.
Heavens lucky to have you,
And so was I. So was I.
And I hope I make you proud,
While you are up there looking down on me.
From the best seat in the house.
When I need you,
You’ll be right outside my window.
I feel your arms around me,
When the wind blows.
I still think you left too soon,
But I am thankful for your time.
Heavens lucky to have you,
God knows how much I miss you.
Heavens lucky to have you,
So was I.
Mmm so was I.
