Every year at this time   I'd look over at some friend of mine   I'd realize and say Hey, have you seen the skies   They've been clear for days   I think we have survived   Another Year   Hey Brother   The newspaper said you were 38 years old   Dead from hypothermia   I didn't even know   That California got that cold   Hey Brother   The cops found your body   In the Ivy next to the tree   Right there on University   And I couldn't help thinking   It could've been me   Every year at this time   I'd look over at some friend of mine   I'd realize and say Hey, have you seen the skies   They've been clear for days   I think we have survived   Another Year   Hey Sister   Newspaper said they found your murdered body   Beheaded, flaoting in garbage   Right there in the Oakland estuary   Hey Sister   Cops said no one reported you missing   No friends or Family   Just another homeless woman    Found dead on the street   And I couldn't help thinking   It could of been me   Mother, Earth   Father, Sky   I am the intersectino of you both   I am heaven on Earth   I am union   Hey Mother   You always took such good care of me   And I can't help thinkin'   That I get everything I need   Hey Father   Sometimes it's so scary   Being a kid   Living on the street   But I get everything I need   I get everything I need   Every year at this time   I'd look over at some friend of mine   I'd realize and say Hey, have you seen the skies   They've been clear for days   I think we have survived   Another Year
