I pulled up to that stoplight

Didn't even notice the old guy

That was holding a sign

Said anything helps

My little boy was in the backseat

Said daddy what you think he needs

I said I don't know

He rolled down his window

The truth is I

probably never even would've

looked his way

Out of sight out of mind

I guess they say

Then he reached down in his pocket

dug out everything he had put his whole life savings

in the palm of that man's hand

He never even questioned when he gave it all away just smiled and said

I hope that this

helps you have a better day

Man I wish that we

could see a few more things through a child's eyes

Maybe we could change the world

with a dollar eighty five

He rolled up his window

Like it was no big deal

Just a little tooth fairy money

He didn't really need anyway

I was sitting in the front seat

Trying to wipe my tears away

He looked up and said hey daddy

Do you got any change

I reached down in my pocket

Dug out everything I had

I know it wasn't much

But I put it in the palm of that man's hands

And I tried not question

When I gave it all away

I smiled and said I hope that this

Helps you have a better day

Man I wish that we

could see a few more things

Through a child's eyes

Maybe we could change the world

With a dollar eighty five

Maybe all it takes

To change the world

Is a dollar eighty five
