Well then.
You've raised £300 for coso AND bought me the kit I need AND made me a very happy man!
I guess I should keep my side of the bargain!
So here it is. A new #SongForCoso

Gimme a while and I'll sort it out.
@disk4mat Thread 1/x
He was just another hobo
In his raggle-taggle way
Sitting on the corner
On a raggle-taggle day
Clothes all torn and dirty
With no shoes upon his feet
Asking for a little help
On the raggle taggle street
@disk4mat 2/x
He didn't mind his lot in life
Or the cold that chilled his bones
Or the folks that walked past to their jobs
From their warm and happy homes
He didn't mind the staring
To indifference, paid no mind
'cause for each one who'd ignore him
There were others who'd be kind
@disk4mat 3/x
I bought him coffee one fine day
I stopped a while, we talked.
I asked him, "Did you choose this life?"
While the other people walked on by.
He said, "I didn't choose it
But I wouldn't chamge a thing."
And then to my heart's great delight
The man began to sing.
There's a light beyond the darkness
There's love within the light
There's strength and love within the love
The future's looking bright (It's gonna be alright)

I sat and stared in silence
Then I asked him, "What's that mean?"
His kindly eyes did sparkle
And he said, "Look what I've seen."
"These people passing by me
They have troubles of their own.
Their lives are like a prison
And the truth they've never known."
There's a light etc.
@disk4mat 5/5
"Cause I may be poor and humble
But by Jiminy! I'm free!
I may not have a brick-built house
It don't matter much to me.
I go where I go as I choose
I live by faith and love
I never will be lonesome
Cause I have a friend above.
Ya get me?"
There's a light etc
