Yesterday the world was cold and heartless
So many moments of my life's been joyless
To this hour I've known so much sorrow
I felt truly there was no tomorrow
Promise after promise in my life abandoned Misery and stress are my companions
Brother Hunger, Sister Thirst my family
I felt truly hope was just a fantasy
But oh, if I could find someone to walk with me today
Then oh, I would have a reason to live, a reason to stay
I heard a rumor of a place of goodness
Where they treat you with uncommon kindness
They say they follow One Who knows my sorrow
They serve to honor One Who makes tomorrow new
But oh, if I could find someone to walk with me today
Then oh, I would have a reason to live,
A reason to stay
At the Yonge Street Mission
I am truly welcomed, I am truly seen
At the Yonge Street Mission
They tell me I am valuable,
They tell me there is hope for me
At the Yonge Street Mission love and acceptance fill the air
There's something different here
At the Yonge Street Mission
I'm learning to embrace that there is more that is meant for me
I'm learning to embrace that there is more that is meant for me
Oh, now I finally found someone to walk with me today
And oh, I have found a way to give back to my world
And oh, I have found
A community that embraces me
And oh, I have found a reason to live,
A reason to stay
A reason to live, a reason to stay
A reason to live
A reason to stay
