Excuse me, miss... Pardon me, sir... Can you spare some change? (Some change... Some change...) Excuse me, sir, can you spare some change? I’m starving, I haven’t eaten in weeks, I’ve no place to sleep except for this dirty park bench, I know that I’m filthy and not all that pleasant to look at, But could you spare just a minute of your time, Sit next to me and chat? I mean c’mon, what’s the matter with that? Sit right here, stranger, I promise I mean no harm, I won’t cause you any danger. Let me speak my truth, Let me tell you what it’s like to walk a mile in my shoes. Can you see me? Can you hear my cry? I’m just like you, I’m trying to survive. One small gesture could heal this pain, A spark of kindness can light the flame. Can you see me? Can you spare some change? I had a home once, I had a name, A family that loved me, but life isn’t a fair game. Lost my job, my health, my sense of pride, Now the world looks at me and turns aside. Every door’s been shut, every chance denied, But all I need is hope to keep me alive. So sit right here, stranger, hear what I have to say, Let’s break this silence; don’t look away. Can you see me? Can you hear my cry? I’m just like you, I’m trying to survive. One small gesture could heal this pain, A spark of kindness can light the flame. Can you see me? Can you spare some change? Spare some change... spare some time... Lend a hand, give a sign... All it takes is a moment to see someone as human. Excuse me, miss... Pardon me, sir... Can you spare some change? (Some change... Some change...)
