Lyrics
[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
