My mommy left me a month ago
sitting here without a home
i watched her cry and walk away
in this cage is now where i stay
behind these steal gates i watch her go
nervous and scared here i am
sitting and wishing i was with them
now here i am with one meal a day
wishing she come take me home to play
mommy moved and left me here
couldn't take me.. knowing life ain't fair
this is suppose to be for the better
and sometimes i wish i hadn't met her
then i wouldn't have to say goodbye
left in the kennel wondering why
here i am left to find a new place to rome
wishing someone would take me home
days go by and nights get long
wishing and hoping..trying to stay strong
people pass without a glance
i wish someone would give me a chance
take me home and ill be your friend
take me home before my life comes to an end
but no one wants me they don't care
or wonder why i ended up here
my days are number as my life gets short
no one there for support
out of the kennel they took me today
maybe heavens a better place to stay
the staff take me away
telling me its gonna be okay
as they hug me i see tears in ones eye
as she softly whispers I'm sorry .. i tried
within seconds i am put to rest
maybe its for the best
one empty cage means room for another
who had to leave their mother
because of problems were they had to move
leaving the puppy in the pound
with nothing to prove
just waiting for his time to come around
so this is for every animal that had to die
for every animal who's owner dint even have a reason why
for every stray left for dead
as responsible owners lay home with their animal tucked in bed
next time you walk in a shelter and walk away
from the ugly dog who can sit and stay
remember without help he might not see another day
so take em home..safe his life..and watch him obey
because thats all we ever wanted was your love
not to be looked after by shelter staff in gloves
but to be owned by someone who is true
somebody kind enough to love you like i do
