about

Lyrics by David Spencer
Music by Alan Menken

NCJHS Choir performed this song as part of our TKI Sukkot Fair together with T.T and B.K.

The lyrics fit our theme of Homelessness perfectly and was followed by an inspiring conversation with Rabbi Farkas from Valley Beth Shalom Synagogue.

lyrics

NOT THAT I MIND THE STREET...
LIVE HOW I GOTTA LIVE...
THINGS THAT I MIND
AFTER YEARS OF THE GRIND
IS I'M STILL A BIT SENSITIVE.
SILLY ME BUT U WISH, AS FORKS WALK BY,
THEY'D STOP... AND SEE ME.
SAY "HI."

SOMETIMES I CATCH A GLANCE.
CONTACT IS ALL TOO BRIEF.
EYES DART ASIDE LIKE THEY'RE WANTING TO HIDE,
JUST AS GUILTY AS ANY THIEF.
HEY, NO CAUSE FOR ALARM, NO NEED TO STAY...
JUST STOP.... AND SEE ME.
OKAY...?

ONCE UPON A WISH,
I'D'VE WISHED THAT LIFE WERE FAIR;
ONCE UPON A WISH,
I'D'VE WITHED FOR NO MORE FEAR;
ONCE UPON A WISH
I'F'VE WISHED FOR ONE MORE CHANCE.
NOW I ONLY WITH
I WOULD'T DISAPPEAR.

ONE THING ABOUT THE STERR:
USED TO A LOTTA STUFF.
OTHERS I'VE SEEN, IT'S TOO MUCH OR TOO MEAN,
AND THEY DIE WHEN THEY'VE HAD ENOUGH.
ME, WHATEVER, I GO THAT EXTRA MILE
CUS SOMDAY SOMEONE,,,
DON'T KNOW-- JUST ... SOMEONE...
MIGHT STOP .. AND SEE ME.
AND SMILE.
