Heart of a Dog

I'm a reflection of what is unseen
 By people inside the machine
 I try to survive here
 I tuck my tail right
 Between my thighs
 Fear, afraid of the things that I see
 Of people and weather and streets
 I know it's said by some
 A cat has nine lives
 But I've got one
 If you hold out a helping hand to me
 I will probably stay alive
 See a new day
 If you hold back your helping hand from me
 I will probably not survive
 Through the night
 Life, hoodlums and pigs and the cold
 Too early for me to grow old
 Moving the countdown
 Seven years have changed to one
 Be, be as strong as I can
 Inside I know who I am
 I'm homeless and hungry, but I am still a man
 Take a look below where you're walking
 There's someone who will die without your charity
 Take a look below where you're walking
 For a moment see the unseen
 Inside of me where the same blood flows
 Like in all of us
 Inside of me where the same God knows
 'Cause his eyes they see us
 Inside of me where the same heart's beating
 Like in all of us
 Inside of me where the same God knows
 'Cause his eyes they see us
