Is this the real life? Is this just fantasy?
Caught in a landslide, no escape from reality
Open your eyes, look up to the skies and see
I'm just a poor boy, I need no sympathy
Because I'm easy come, easy go, little high, little low
Any way the wind blows
Doesn't really matter to me, to me ..

Well, I know what's right
I got just one life
In a world that keeps on pushin' me around
But I'll stand my ground
And I won't back down
No, I won't back down

"There must be some way out of here", said the joker to the thief
There's too much confusion, I can't get no relief
Businessmen, they drink my wine, plowmen dig my earth
None of them along the line, know what any of it is worth.

the hour is getting late ....

His hair is long, his feet are hard and gritty
He spends the life walking the streets of New York City (or Yokohama)
He's almost dead from breathing in air pollution
He tried and fought, but to him there's no solution
Living just enough, just enough for the city (yeah, yeah, yeah)

Hello!

This is just a quick reminder that today’s patrol had been cancelled.

This is a first time since we started this activity over 4 years ago, but it was absolutely unavoidable due to circumstances out of our control. We will schedule next patrol soon and we will keep figuring out solutions for the little problems presenting due to changes in our regular venue.

Please stay alert and be sure we will keep doing this as long as it’s needed.

Volunteers, keep checking this page for updates and always thank you for your help.
