No Room At The Inn

Thousands fought for you
...your freedom to keep

Tonight two hundred thousand
sleep upon the street

They are the very same ones
who came back home lost
after their jobs were  done

Allowed by a system that lacks
the power to prevent it`s veterans
from falling through the cracks

These are the same ones
who fought to keep us free
Can we not make a place for them
somewhere ‘twixt you and me..
