Cold Like This - Official Music Video

"Cold Like This" is a collaboration between musicians Joel Manchester and Colin Fowlie written for and inspired by the fundraising event "Coldest Night Of The Year" which raises money for the homeless, hurt and hungry in our communities. In Fredericton New Brunswick, where Joel and Colin are from, this event gives money back to an amazing non profit called The John Howard Society. They are a community-based organization who's purpose is to assist inmates, ex-offenders, and those considered to be at risk to offend (due to their economic, emotional, social, or other factors) in their attempts to re-enter the circles of mainstream society.

Lyrics :
Still awake at 2am
Walking these winter streets again
The moon hangs heavy on nights like this
But I’ve got a place to warm my hands
Unforgiving and alone
When your only friend is snow
Easy to forget those who fall through the cracks
The ones who call the streets their home
When it’s cold like this
Does anybody miss
the ones, who were left out
Do we refuse to see
Unless it was you or me
who was the one left out
In the cold
I’ve seen you walk this way before
Eyes locked upon the frozen ground
Trying to ignore the fact
That You and I are both just trying
To make it through the same dark night
But the curse is better than the cure
When it’s cold like this
Does anybody miss
the ones, who were left out
Do we refuse to see
Unless it was you or me
who was the one left out
In the cold
Now 3am’s long gone and I’m awake
Cause there’s no place to lay my head
When it’s cold like this
When it’s cold like this
Does anybody miss
the ones, who were left out
Do we refuse to see
Unless it was you or me
who was the one left out
In the cold
