Away In A Manger

away lays a stranger
no bed or a sheet
the cold wind is blowing
down the dark street

no where to go daily
the moonshine is bright
everyone disowns her
she lives in such fright

some shadows are moving
they are drawing near
they are disapproving
she only knows fear

she knows they hate her
she knows that they kill
she knows all the time
she has to take her pill

the others have blankets
the others have a bed
the others have no problem
they are warm and fed

she only wants comfort
she only wants plans
they turn their back on her
for they know she is trans
