A Song for a Dime

Stood at the edge of tragedy
Ran fierce into the night
I let the shadows shelter me
'Til I could step into the light

Called it a home what a joke
For such family such a price
Kick, punch, belt, or a choke
Beating hearts as cold as ice

Now I'll give you some sunshine if you give me your time
I'll sing you a good song if you spare me a dime
Give me a rhythm I'll give you a rhyme
I'll give you a good song if you give me a dime

Safe travels since I have no choice
Let the roads be my school of life
Hear the message in my voice
Read a book but pack a knife

I walk where the sun shines down
I am free and I can fly so high
I'll always survive 'cause I have a song
Come listen to me come by and buy

I'll give you some sunshine if you give me your time
I'll sing you a good song won't you give me a dime
You give me a rhythm I'll give you a rhyme
I'll give you a good song if you give me a dime

She's just another runaway
Out there there's no room for fear
As Cricket strolls down
Walks down the alleyway
She'd rather hustle than shed a tear

Looking at the still bright sea
I feel my heart open wide
Night creeps back into oblivion
And everyone glows under the light

I'll give you some sunshine if you give me your time
I'll give you a good song if you give me a dime
You give me a rhythm I'll give you a rhyme
I'll give you a good song if you give me a dime

I'll give you some sunshine if you give me your time
I'll give you a good song if you give me a dime
Give me a rhythm I'll give you a rhyme
I'll give you a good song if you give me a dime
If you give me a dime
