about

People without a home are struggling; they make all these cardboard signs asking for help. The lyrics come from their signs.

lyrics

It was pouring down rain
As I pulled up to Second and Vine
You were walking away
From a pile of soaking wet signs

Stocking cap low on your face,
The color of rain, the picture of grace
You were holding a sign
I been looking for mine

“Willing to work”
For money or food for a time
Just to feel so invisible and
Cold and scared out of your mind

Stocking cap low on your face,
The color of rain, the picture of grace, and
You were holding a sign
I been looking for mine

Camped on the underpass, at 90 and 5
It’s hard to understand why
From all of the things you are running away
The little hearts bleeding, so hard believing,
That everyone’s needing to find...

Holding a sign…
I been looking for mine...
Holding a sign…
I been looking for mine, and

We’re holding a sign
