Excuse Me

Excuse me, passer by,

Can you spare some change for a guy like me

I got myself in a pickle, as you can see

Excuse me, don’t be shy

I ain’t here to cause trouble, just to find my way

Through the dark realities of everyday

People stare and walk on past

People sneer, point and laugh

But they don’t know my story

They don’t even think to ask

Why I am, who I am

Excuse me, please don’t judge

I’ve been through an avalanche of disarray

Still got hopes and dreams they’ll never fade away

And I’m sorry, to interrupt

But I’m cold and hungry I can’t feel my toes

Now I’m out of options, and god only knows,

People stare and walk on past

People sneer, point and laugh

But they don’t know my story

They don’t even think to ask

Why I am, who I am

When you walk across the bridge

Stop to look under it

I’ve been through love and pain

Like you, we’re all the same

People stare and walk on past

People sneer, point and laugh

But they don’t know my story

They don’t even think to ask

Why I am, who I am

I’m just a man
