Helping people even when you are down From the Cd: This Is Me Lord - The Glass Poets

Upon Douglas's return to California after 37 years away he was facing some hard times - he looked out of a motel window where he was staying and noticed people far worse off than he was. The song explains how he helped a homeless woman and her child

Peering from a motel window, down on my luck trying to survive
I noticed a homeless woman holding a child about the age of five
Knee deep in a garbage bin trying to feed her baby girl
What I had witnessed churned my stomach into a nauseous whirl
Due to my circumstance, low on money and under hard times was I
But the thought of this child eating garbage brought a tear to my eye
From my pocket I pulled out one of my last bills
Went to this woman and child and said, " Mame, can I buy you a meal"
Chrs: Listened from a motel window to the cries out in the dark
I know I cant help everyone but I cant control my heart
Many times I have turned the wrong way down the crossroads in my life
Ended up in the middle of nowhere people starin as they walk on by
Been cold and lonely out of money and friends it`s a pain that you cannot hide
I thank the Lord each day I wake, man I`m still alive from a motel window in my life
Even though I was at a place in my life where I did not want to be
I knew I would survive having faced tougher battles times three
So when tomorrow comes and I have to give again to someone in need
Good Lord that is just what I will do without losing any sleep
