[Verse]
Hey mister, what's the rush?
Scared you'll catch poor from one of us?
I'm only asking for a minute of your time
It's not a lot to give away
And you get plenty more each day
Or will you do like all the rest
And just continue on your way?

[pre-chorus]
Are you gonna walk away? 
Are you gonna walk away?
Are you gonna walk away?

[Chorus]
I'm only a man
Living life
The only way I can
Once I was a dreamer
Now I left that behind
Fate's been cruel and unkind
I'll tell you my story if you give me
A minute
Of your time

Of your time

[Verse]
I left my name behind 
Buried it deep for none to find
The streets gave me a new one instead
Fled from a broken home
Set out to make it on my own
But the ghosts of my childhood
Never left me alone

[Pre-chorus]
Never left me alone
Never left me alone

[Chorus]
I'm only a man
Living life
The only way I can
Once I was a dreamer
Now I left that behind
Fate's been cruel and unkind
I'll tell you my story if you give me
A minute
Of your time

Of your time

[Bridge]
Spent three decades of my life
Forgotten by society 
But I'm still standing 
I'm poor, but I am free
And I don't want your pity
I just want you to see
This world is not as perfect
As you picture it to be
And it doesn't take a lot for you to end up
Like me

[Outro]
I'm only a man
Living life
The only way I can
Once I was a dreamer
Now I left that behind
Fate's been cruel and unkind
I'll tell you my story if you give me
A minute
Of your time
