Lyrics

woke up today 
to rain on my face
hung-over from the night before

try to erase 
these feelings of failure
i’ve learned to embrace throughout my days

please donate a dime 
so I can save up for
a cup of coffee to help get me through the day

it’s all I require
it’s so clear 
that you don’t care about the man on the corner

sitting on the curbside
holding up a cardboard sign that say’s "will work for food"
it’s all he does all day

i never got the chance 
to start a family
a wife two kids and a white picket fence

i don’t understand 
how i became
the man on the corner

sitting on the curbside
watching all the passersby go passing right by

ain’t that how it should be 
when you’re living life on the streets?

you never wanted to see 
the homeless man on meridian street
asking for more money 
from the evening commuter

there’s not much left to do
i’d never wish this life on you
just don’t wish yours on me
don’t waste your time on me
