Vagabond
  Doomed to die a daring death
  Different from deceit
  Forced to take a final breath
  When life was incomplete
  Packed bags and left the city
  Wound up on the street
  Lost from days when life was pretty
  But she won’t admit defeat
  Followed a rugged road
  Footprints in the sand
  No looking back
  She might have a heart attack
  Stumbled a drunken foe
  Dealt another hand
  Well I can tell you one thing
  She’ll never make it home
  Walls of insincerity
  Streets are flooding fast
  She has some demons yet to meet
  Locked out from her past
  Took her chances
  Struck her gold
  A curse that’s yet untold
  And as she swallows all the silence
  Her regrets begin to grow
  Well now she knows
  Followed a rugged road
  Footprints in the sand
  No looking back
  She might have a heart attack
  Stumbled a drunken foe
  Dealt another hand
  Well I can tell you one thing
  She’ll never make it
  Never make it out alive
  Shark attack on Channel 5
  Close the shutters
  Live your lies
  It’s easier to hide your eyes
  Masquerade a crude disguise
  It won’t put out the flames
  Inside
  Followed a rugged road
  Footprints in the sand
  No looking back
  She might have a heart attack
  Stumbled a drunken foe
  Dealt another hand
  Well I can tell you one thing
  She’ll never make it home
  Oh no
  Well I can tell you one thing
  She’ll never make it home

This song was inspired by a book called Tricks by Ellen Hopkins about teens who wound up living on the streets stuggling to survive. The strength of few can overcome the tyrrany of many. Just remember that.
