Sidewalk Wondering Blues

Could you loan me a nickel to buy me a dime
So I could check out for a short piece of time
Try to escape from the aches of my being
Dream of a day of a future worth seeing
Want for tomorrow like it was forever
I'd trade my mundane life for something to treasure
Bask in a glory only privy through candor
Muted to ears and lips used for slander

Yea I'm sure that it won't ever really matter to you
That high horse that you're riding on
You could never wear these shoes
I got those sidewalk wondering blues

If I could see my potentials instead of my faults
Invest in my future with more than just thoughts
Revel in awe at life secret meaning
Go with the flow no longer competing
Brace for the certainty of differing thought
Through new understanding perspectives are taught
So never shy away from the chance of a lesson
May life be our teacher and love our profession
Yea I'm sure that it won't ever really matter to you
That high top castle you're living in
You could never wear these shoes
I got those sidewalk wondering blues

So stop looking for acceptance in everyone's approval
No need to feed your ego
I pray for it's removal
I'm searching for the answer
To impossible equations
Rhetorical by nature
No need for explanations
Do unto others as we did to ourselves
We could raise a generation
With more wisdom than wealth
Live out all our days in complete understanding
That the beauty of our flight
Requires us landing

Man I sure hope that it all starts to matter to you
This spaceship that we're riding on
Provides one hell of a view
I got those sidewalk wondering blues
I got those sidewalk wondering blues
