I was standing on the corner, waiting for the light to change
When I felt him tap my shoulder right before I heard him say
Hey Mr. I was wondering could you spare a couple bucks
For a cold and hungry brother a little down on his luck,
I handed him and 5 and said Iâd like to give you more
But Iâm thinking that a hot meal isnât what you want it for
He looked me in the eye said I know what you think,
But I donât do drugs and itâs been months since Iâve had a drink.
If lifeâs a road,
Its taking me some places I never thought Iâd go
But I believe I keep on getting closer to where Iâm sâposed to be
I know eventually,
Lifeâs got something good for me
I stood there staring at him and feeling sorry and ashamed,
Wondering how someone with nothing could still have so much faith
He shook my hand and thanked me so humble and sincere that
I couldnât help but ask myself whoâs the beggar here?
If lifeâs a road,
Its taking me some places I never thought Iâd go
But I believe I keep on getting closer to where Iâm sâposed to be
I know eventually,
Lifeâs got something good for me
If lifeâs a road,
Its taking me some places I never thought Iâd go
Now I can see Iâm still not getting closer to being the man I want to be
I pray eventually,
Lifeâs got something good for me
