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
