Busker

Walked down to the bridge And I was just about to cross When an old woman Handed me the word of God I stuck it in my pocket just in case I change my mind Well, I'm not stupid I care I just look twice around each corner Before I take another step Because you know as well as I do There may be no one looking out for you Until you stand up Be confident and strong Be the woman that you are Or the man you always hoped you could be Don't be afraid cuz they laugh at me Looking out at the world From a Busker's point of view I challenge every passerby To look me in the eye, but they don't They just toss a coin Don't even stick around to see who won They never stand up Be confident and strong Be the woman that you are Or the man you always hoped you could be Don't be afraid cuz they laugh at me Well I say I'm entertaining You say I'm begging, well I may be begging For the mercy I show everyday But you're stupid, you don't care You walk away. You walk away You never stand up Be confident and strong Be the woman that you are Or the man you always hoped you could be Don't be afraid cuz they laugh at me And the kids I love the kids I hate the kids But those kids, when they stop and stare They're in awe and they're so pure and so aware They're not stupid They care I was some stand up Be confident and strong Be the woman that they are Or the man you always hoped they could be Don't be afraid cuz they laugh at me Don't be afraid when they laugh at me Don't be afraid because they laugh at me
