*[LYRICS]*

[Intro]
Yeah, LA, the city of angels
But some angels have lost their wings
Skid Row, listen up

[Verse 1]
Neon signs seen through a broken window pane
Instead of starlight, what glitters are eyes high on a chemical haze
Once, I also had a dream, under a warm sunbeam
Now a torn-up tent is my only sanctuary
I scream "help me," but all I hear is a scornful sigh
On the cold asphalt, warmth has long since died
My friend from yesterday, where did they disappear to tonight?
Will I still be standing on this street when tomorrow’s light arrives?

[Chorus]
Tears flow on the concrete floor, with no one to wipe them away
In the cold neglect of the city, hope is shattered and scattered
Who will hold their hands, who will tend to their rotting wounds?
We have to change the world together, we have to plant hope in this land of despair

[Verse 2]
The news keeps yelling, saying the economy is growing
But why does my pocket just keep getting emptier?
Lost my job, lost my family, even lost the last home I had
There was no ladder of success to begin with, the moment you slipped, it was a cliff
Where is justice, where is God, just a hollow echo when I call
I want to ask those who point their fingers, just how clean are you all?

[Chorus]
Tears flow on the concrete floor, with no one to wipe them away
In the cold neglect of the city, hope is shattered and scattered
Who will hold their hands, who will tend to their rotting wounds?
We have to change the world together, we have to plant hope in this land of despair

[Bridge]
What's needed is a little concern, the courage not to look away
A warm meal, a warm gaze instead of a cold stare
It's not some grand slogan that can change a person's life
It's right here, right now, your small helping hand, that's the start

[Outro]
Tears in the concrete, yeah
We gotta make a change
It's on us
Let's build a better world
For everyone. No one left behind.
