Into the river, it's a metaphor
For the way his life's changed
weren't quite what they seemed
Another person slams the door
and now he knows the score
Life on the streets is half a world away
From the life that he once knew
He says I was just an ordinary guy
With hopes and aspirations
when you're living on the streets
Looking for some shelter,
There could be a thousand reasons why
So don't judge, don't preach
Sometimes you need a helping hand
From Camden to Rotherhithe
For the girl under the bridge
She takes a walk in the morning air
And finds Jimmy on the shore
She rescues Jimmy from that store
She says, I was always wondering
Now I think I've found the
when you're waiting on the streets
Looking for some shelter,
There could be a thousand reasons why
So don't judge, don't preach
It's hard to get back on your feet
When you're living on the street
When you're living on the street
We're living on the streets
