Homelessness in America and poverty in the USA are growing epidemics. With as many as 3.6 million people experiencing homelessness every year and 47 million Americans living in poverty, it's time to spread awareness and make change happen.

Lyrics:

(Verse 1)

Little Sissie sells her love to strangers
she’s been on the street since she turned thirteen
just another lonely night in the city
on the Boulevard of Broken Dreams

(Chorus)

Someplace to be somebody
Someplace, to stand up tall
Someplace to be somebody
Someplace where I don’t have to crawl

(Verse 2)

Mister Ferdy use to work in the factory
now he’s sleeping in a cardboard box
just another lonely night in the city
one more Homeless in the Land of the Lost (I’m lookin’ for)

(Chorus)

Someplace to be somebody
Someplace, to stand up tall (I’m lookin’ for)
Someplace to be some body
Someplace where I don’t have to crawl

(Bridge)

Open your heart, open your door
No one is rich, if someone is poor

(Verse 3)

Diamond Darryl was a Prince and a Brother
shot and murdered on the streets of the hood
just another lonely night in the city
one more precious life that came to no good (I’m lookin’ for)

(Chorus)

Someplace to be somebody (Got to find someplace)
Someplace to stand up tall (Stand up tall)
Someplace to be somebody (Got to be somebody)
Someplace where I don’t have to crawl

(Bridge)

Open your heart (You ought to), open your door
(No one is) No one is rich (If someone), if someone is poor

(You’ve got to) Open your heart (You’ve got to), open your door
(No one is rich) No one is rich (If some one), if someone is poor

(Verse 4)

Crazy Charlie walks the block in circles
screams at all the cars and talks to the wind
just another lonely night in the city
in every city there are hundreds like him (I’m lookin’ for)

(Chorus)

Someplace to be somebody (Got to find someplace)
Someplace to stand up tall (Stand up tall)
Someplace to be somebody (Got to be somebody)
Some place where I don’t have to crawl

(Bridge)

Open your heart (You’ve got to), open your door
(No one is rich) No one is rich (If someone), if some one is poor

(It’s time to) Open your heart (It’s time to), open your door
(No one is) No one is rich (If someone), if someone is poor

(I got to tell you now to) Open your heart (I got to tell you now to), open your door
(I got to tell you tell you) No one is rich (If someone), if someone is poor

(Chorus)

Someplace to be somebody
Someplace to stand up tall (I'm lookin' for)
Someplace to be somebody
Someplace where I don't have to crawl

Someplace to be somebody...
