The house my family lives in just down the block

Many times I passed there but I never stopped

I go on all alone wishing I could be

In that house down the block with my family
When we meet upon the street I just bow my head

They don't know how often I wish that I was dead

To our name I brought the shame but still I long to be

The tears that fall won't start at all and God will let me be

In that house down the block with my family
