This is an unofficial webpage for an organization whose work I respect.
Please don't take my word for absolute truth.
Every organization goes through constant changes.
Let this be an introduction;
now it's time for you to find out for yourself.
Let the organization speak for itself.

Feed Me
words and music by Stephen Sedberry
Down on my luck, stuck in your town;
each town acts the same way--:
they hustle me out by the fast route
just like a mangy stray-.
chorus:
Feed-- me; feed-- me;
all that I ask is you feed-- me.
Forget my dirt and my raggedy shirt.
All that I ask is you feed--- me.
I can't eat your Bible; I can't eat the smile
you give me as you walk away---.
Food gives me strength while hunger wears down
my chances every day---. (chorus)
I'm a child on your street; I'm a man in your town;
I'm a woman from far away---.
And it's so hard to cope when I lose all my hope
and nobody knows what to say--------. (chorus)
Nobody's pure; we know that for sure
so why ask it of me---.
We all make mistakes, so give me a break;
shake some fruit down from your tree---. (chorus)
