My name's Jake. I'm 26, and I've been homeless most of my life.
I lost my parents when I was a kid. The only thing I got to keep was my dad's guitar.
I've never had a stage, just sidewalks, subway corners, and people passing by. So tonight,
I'm hoping this guitar can take me somewhere I've never been.
And maybe for once in my life, I won't just be playing to survive.
Counting stars to hide the pain. It feels the same. Another night, a human without a name.
People pass, they walk on by. They've gone too fast to see me cry.
Empty pockets, tired hands. God, is this your master plan?
Didn't think I would fall this far. A broken man, a fallen star.
Try not to slip away. Please help me get through today.
Empty streets and winter winds. Punishment for my unknown sins.
I'm still fighting to remain. To shed the sadness, to heal the pain.
Maybe tomorrow the world will see that I'm still human underneath.
Didn't think I'd try not to slip away. Please help me get through today.
Didn't think a broken man. Try not to slip away. Please help me get through today.
And I've got no place to stay, but I'm still here today.
I've got no place to stay, but I'll find my way someday.
Just an old guitar to shield me from the pain.
Playing on the sidewalks, the corners of the street.
No roof over my head, no shoes on my feet.
But when I play these strings, I can hold my head up tall.
I've fallen on hard times. I've stumbled and I've, I've given up on trying.
I've got no more tears to shed. But there's a light I can see.
Like the warmth of the dawn. As long as I've got my guitar, I will carry on.
This guitar was my father's. I'm forever in his debt.
I hear his voice with every strum. His warmth in every fret.
Oh, never see that when I play these strings, I've never been so free.
I've fallen on hard times. I can see like the warmth of the dawn.
As long as I've got my guitar, I will carry on.
Yes, as long as I've got my guitar, I will carry on.
