Where are the amber waves of grain
When one of our homeless native sons has hunger pain
Under the overpass they build a fire for heat
They can't remember when they had a meal to eat

Some sleep in doorways waiting for the day
Some sleep in boxes we have thrown away

(Coro)
Under the red, white and blue
Right down the street in our view
We're not doing all we can do
To shelter the homeless few
Shelter the homeless few

Standing in line for soup and bread
Hoping tonight the downtown mission has a bed
Dreaming about the home they thought they'd never lose
Sleeping on benches covered by the daily news

People who pass them by just turn their heads
Making them feel like they've been left for dead

Under the red, white and blue
Right down the street from our pew
We're not doing all we can do
To shelter the homeless few
Shelter the homeless few

It's up to me
It's up to you
We're not doing all we can do
To shelter the homeless few
Shelter the homeless few

"Unos Pocos Sin Hogar"

¿Donde están las olas de granos color ámbar,
mientras uno de nuestros compatriotas tiene hambre?
Bajo el puente hacen fuego para calentarse.
Ni se acuerdan cuando fue que tuvieron comida por ultima vez.

Algunos duermen a las entradas de las casas esperando el día.
Otros duermen sobre cajas que nosotros tiramos.

(Coro)
Bajo el rojo, blanco y azul,
en la calle, bien a la vista...
No estamos haciendo todo lo que podemos
para darles abrigo a esos "pocos si hogar".

Hacen cola por un poco de sopa y pan,
esperando que en el hogar hoy haya una cama libre.
Soñando con el hogar que creyeron que nunca perderían,
durmiendo en bancos cubiertos con el diario de hoy.
La gente que pasa a su lado da vuelta la cabeza
y les hace sentir que los dejan que se mueran solos.
Bajo el rojo, blanco y azul,
en la calle, cerca de la iglesia.
No estamos haciendo todo lo que podemos
para darles abrigo a esos "pocos si hogar",
esos "pocos sin hogar".
Depende de ti,
depende de mi.
No estamos haciendo todo lo que podemos
para abrigar a esos "pocos si hogar",
esos "pocos sin hogar".

[chuckedcck]

I never thought I would lose everything, but I did. All but my faith in the Lord.

[KyPip]

A unique song from Petra. They haven't done many socially-aware type of songs. Their power alley is spiritual punches.

[wendell72able]

God bless every member of petra the first christian band i knew way back 1987 and thanks to ptr. JOSE VEA, JR. for teaching me to love music and thouhgt me how to play the guitar and get involve in the ministry specially in the music team....

[Argentinoylatino]

@talboi20 Right but the reps who says i´´m a born again" sends boys to dye for oil, put dictators in Latin America, see education and public health as a profitable matter and not as a human right, those "born again" are just religious persons not born again

[Argentinoylatino]

@linkypinky66 This is a social song, about the misery and poverty that brings this unjust system, not a religious song, and a critic to those who pass by a poor person and look to other side, its far from a religious song

[chris080270]

Wonderful song..if only Christians lived by these words.... >:(

[dwasylyshen]

@linkypinky66 Just wondering why you mind if i ask why you will never be a christian again?

[hellninja123]

I think that if we would focus more on what is going on in our own back yard, and stop fighting with one another we would be so much happier, fewer families torn apart by anger, love will take care of all that we have to face on a daily basis, just BELIEVE!!!!!!!!!!!

[linkypinky66]

No longer a Christian, and never will be again. But I still love this song.

Look past the lyrics and your religious propaganda people, and just focus on the beautiful MUSIC.

[crystyop]

beautiful song ......... for soul
