Mister can you spare a dime
Her words brought tears to my eyes
That was me some years ago
Live or die I didn't know

I was so much stronger then
Hate the world and had no friends
Well some things they never change
That homeless life it ain't no game

In retrospect it made no sense
I'm wondering where my family went
Not a single helping hand
I was told to be a man

In retrospect that wasn't right
Thank God so many times He saved my life
I have to say it touched my soul
But still I wish it never happened though
Yeah still I wish it never happened though

Mister can you spare a dime
Her words brought tears to my eyes
That was me some years ago
Live or die I didn't know

Live or die I didn't know
