Spare some change

[Verse 1] Cardboard throne on a sidewalk cold, city symphony of horns blare bold Sun beats down on a weary head, empty belly wish I was dead [Chorus] Spare some change, for a soul in pain, rain keeps fallin', washin' away the rain Just a dime, a nickel, a penny to my name, this concrete jungle's drivin' me insane [verse 2] Lost my job, bills piled high, pride took a beatin', tears won't dry Used to be a man with a roof and a name, now I'm just a beggar, singin' the blues of shame [Chorus] Spare some change, for a soul in pain, rain keeps fallin', washin' away the rain Just a dime, a nickel, a penny to my name, this concrete jungle's drivin' me insane [Verse 3] Rusty cup sits by my worn-out shoes, shadows lengthen, singin' the evenin' blues Fancy folks hurry by, eyes glued to their phones, don't see the heartache etched in my bones [Chorus] Spare some change, for a soul in pain, rain keeps fallin', washin' away the rain Just a dime, a nickel, a penny to my name, this concrete jungle's drivin' me insane [verse 4] Kids point and whisper, some mothers clutch tight, guess poverty ain't a pretty sight But behind this beard and these tattered clothes, there's a man still fightin', just tryna get some hope [Chorus] Spare some change, for a soul in pain, rain keeps fallin', washin' away the rain Just a dime, a nickel, a penny to my name, this concrete jungle's drivin' me insane [Bridge] Maybe I was foolish, maybe I was blind, thought I had it all, now I'm left behind But a little kindness, a helping hand, could lift me from this hollow, shifting sand [Chorus] Spare some change, for a soul in pain, rain keeps fallin', washin' away the rain Just a dime, a nickel, a penny to my name, this concrete jungle's drivin' me insane [Outro] Maybe tomorrow, the sun will shine, on a different life, a different time But tonight, I'll sing my bluesy plea, hopin' for a hand, hopin' you'll set me free
