Title: “Left in the Cold” (A Song for the Homeless Children)

Verse 1 (Soft, solemn, reflective)

Small hands trembling in the frozen night,

Footsteps fading, lost in the city lights.

We close our doors, we turn away,

While another child fights to see the day.

Pre-Chorus (Building emotion, a plea for awareness)

Where is the love? Where is the grace?

How can we stand by and not get them some place?

They cry out in silence, their stories not told

While we walk on, why are hearts growing cold.

Chorus (Strong, heartfelt, a call to action – Mezzo Forte, rising)*

They’re left in the cold, alone in the rain,

Carrying burdens too heavy with pain.

If love is a shelter, then why don’t we show

That nobody’s meant to be left in the cold?

No, nobody’s meant to be left in the cold.

Verse 2 (Maintains sorrow but hints at hope—people can make a difference)

Shattered dreams rest on a cardboard bed,

A world that ignores, a no future ahead

But what if one hand, one open door,

Could change a life forever?

Bridge (More powerful, reaching for change—this is the turning point!)

If we could just stop, if we could just see,

The child on the corner could be you or me.

A warm embrace, a spark in the night,

Could turn their darkness into light.

Chorus (Biggest crescendo, strongest delivery—full force!)

They’re left in the cold, alone in the rain,

Carrying burdens too heavy with pain.

If love is a shelter, then why don’t we show

That nobody’s meant to be left in the cold?

No, nobody’s meant to be left in the cold.

Outro (Gentle, reflective, but with resolve—ending on a whisper of hope)

So let’s be the light, let’s be the spark,

A fire of hope in the deepest dark.,

No more hearts turned to stone.

No more children alone.

Jesus said help the children come on!!!
