Down, But Not Out

I don't have a place to call home, and I don't have 
a car even though I wish on the first star of the night.

I may be down, but I'm not out.

I don't have my kids cause they were ripped from my arms, 
but my love for them goes on without even a pause.

I may be down, but I'm not out.

I don't have a lot of money even though I work so very hard. But that don't really 
matter cause I have love in my heart, and love can't be bought.

I may be down, but I'm not out.

I may not have a lot of material things, 
and that's ok cause I'm down, but I'm not out!
