Turn Me Away

If I were down on my luck,
Would Christ turn me away
If I were desperate for a buck,
Or a safe place, where I could lay

I was looking for some kindness
Not a hand out, if it matters to you
Why I'm here Is not clear
But I'm doing all I can do

It’s not clear why I'm here
Now someone’s run off with my shoes

You look where you don't see me
Invisible is all I will be
So you throw a dime or two
And you act like I’ve got some disease

I'm not looking for your pity
Or a committee to study my needs
Fractured independence was born
And now I’m on my knees

Fractured independence was born
And now your spawn still bleeds

If you were down on your luck
Would Christ turn you away
If you’re desperate for a buck
Or a warm place where you could stay

You think I’m not a person
My mother would never agree
Fractured independence was born
The day they spared my seed

If I were down on my luck
Would You turn me away
If I were desperate for a buck
Or a warm place, that I could lay

I'm a little confused- why
You’re bulldozer mom’s out of view
So thank your lucky stars, my friend
This could've been you

Thank your stars, my friend
This might've been you

If I were down on my luck
Would Christ turn me away
