Stray

Stranded on the corner..early mornin' light

I can hardly move, being held back so tight

Landed on the street, no better than before (now I'm)

Stranded on the corner, what are you waitin' for?

Well I was born into .. cruelty and greed

Sold like a cuddly toy.. with the rest of my breed

N' then there was the family, warm love - how it glowed

But I was left abandoned, at the side of the road

So much love to give, I don't understand..

Taken in, then thrown away

People passin' by

I can hear them say

Just a stray dog gone astray

Lookin' for a home

So don't cry for pity, for the dog-gone hound

Cold rain - tough city, prisoner back in the pound

Open hearted and true for you, (is) 'Man's Best Friend'

All the earth I would walk with you, to the very end

So much love to give, I don't understand..

Taken in, then thrown away

People passin' by

I can hear them say

Another bad dog gone astray

Never askin'

For anything

The meaning of

Truly unconditional

Man, it's a dogs life

It's a dangerous dance

Gimme half a chance now

Make a house a home today

So much love to give, I don't understand..

Taken in, then thrown away

People passin' by

I can hear them say

Just a stray dog gone astray Lookin' for a home
