It is estimated that in the UK alone there are 5,000 people sleeping rough on the streets of our towns and cities. It is a national disgrace and made worse when it is also estimated that 320,000 people are homeless and only a few steps away from joining them.

Its a scene from before one that always endures
Despite all the good words we still search for the cure

I wish you could feel our heartache x 3
As we live our poor lives

But despite all the words still nothing is heard
We are easily forgotten and passed by and cursed

Now you make think we’re making ends meet x 3
But the truth is we’re not

The Big Issue can help and for that we give thanks
But the world needs to care more and give something back

Well I wish you could see the silence feel the pain and the violence
All the acts that remind us we are all on our own

We still wish you a merry xmas
We still wish you a merry xmas
We wish you a merry xmas from the folks on the streets.
