Trying to make a living

It’s cold out here,

Trying to make a living

Sometimes have aches and pains,

Trying to make a living

Get to meet new people.

Trying to make a living.

They’re caring, funny

And understanding.

Trying to make a living

It makes me happy with

Encouragement and it makes

Me push to fulfill my dreams

To one day

Run a little café.

So I’m gonna keep on

Trying to make a living

With Street Sense papers

Til success comes.
