I was asked to write a song for a new charity for the homeless, which will hopefully be launched by the end of the year. It was a tough assignment - more of a job - as writing for someone else added to the difficulty and pressure. This is the result:

All About Us (original song by Peter Devine)

Hey brother lend a hand
To help your fellow man

It’s all about us
You and me
Together in our community

Laying on a concrete bed
No pillow for my head
People come and people go
No one ever says hello

It’s all about us
You and me
Together in our community

No shelter on the street
Barely anything to eat
No job, no pay
Just surviving each day

It’s all about us
You and me
Together in our community

It’s time to make a stand
It’s time to lend a helping hand
It’s time to love your fellow man and woman
‘Cause hate hangs on too long
Until all you have is gone

Hey sister lend a hand
It’s time to understand

It’s all about us
You and me
Together in our community

I’ve been hiding in plain sight
As you pass me in night
Now I’m knocking at your door
Asking you to give you more

It’s all about us
You and me
Together in our community

It’s all about us
And our dignity
Together in our community
It’s all about us
Together in our community
It’s all about us
Together in our community
It’s all about us
Together in our community
