The Hobo
https://suno.com/s/2ORwiMpCPOQp76QT
The door slammed shut, the locks were changed
Bank got the house, I took my fate
The wife was gone with a suitcase
Said, “I’m not staying for this race”
The suit I wore began to fade
The tie I tied for years betrayed
I slept on benches, went insane
And learned to carry all the pain
I begged for coins, looked away
I cursed the life I lived all day
But one cold night I saw the light
The man I was had lived a lie
I built my castle on the sand
I cherished dream I never had
The tide came in, the walls gave way
I blamed the world for my decay
All that I built was made of glass
I chose the steps that led me fast
Down to the bottom, down to the bone
Now I’m hobo, I’m my own
I stopped then begging for a dime
And started giving what was mine
A hand to lift, a chair to mend
A word of hope to a homeless friend
Then one grey morning on the street
A shabby dog with tired feet
Sat right beside me, didn’t beg
Just laid his head upon my leg
He didn’t need my old success
He didn’t care about the mess
We walked the alleys, shared bread
The first true friend I ever had
I built my castle on the sand
I cherished dream I never had
The tide came in, the walls gave way
I blamed the world for my decay
All that I built was made of glass
I chose the steps that led me fast
Down to the bottom, down to the bone
Now I’m hobo, I’m my own
I used to think the world owed me
A second chance, a destiny
But now I know the only debt
Is being man and not forget
I lost the castle, found the ground
I lost the noise, found the sound
Of walking free without a chain
Of giving back what is remained
The truth was waiting in the fall
I had to lose to see it all
Down to the bottom, down to the bone
Now I’m hobo — and I’m home
Me and the dog, the street, the sky
No more false masks, no hidden lies
The man who fell now stands upright
And strolls alone into the light
